PTHREAD_COND_WAIT(3)      OpenBSD Programmer's Manual     PTHREAD_COND_WAIT(3)

NAME
     pthread_cond_wait - wait on a condition variable



SYNOPSIS
     #include <pthread.h>

     int
     pthread_cond_wait(pthread_cond_t *cond, pthread_mutex_t *mutex);

DESCRIPTION
     The pthread_cond_wait() function atomically blocks the current thread
     waiting on the condition variable specified by cond, and unblocks the mu-
     tex specified by mutex. The waiting thread unblocks only after another
     thread calls pthread_cond_signal(3), or  pthread_cond_broadcast(3) with
     the same condition variable, and the current thread reaquires the lock on
     mutex.

RETURN VALUES
     If successful, the pthread_cond_wait() function will return zero. Other-
     wise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     pthread_cond_wait() will fail if:

     [EINVAL]      The value specified by cond or the value specified by attr
                   is invalid.
