  68 .sp
  69 .LP
  70 The \fBpthread_rwlock_timedwrlock()\fR function applies a write lock to the
  71 read-write lock referenced by \fIrwlock\fR as in the
  72 \fBpthread_rwlock_wrlock\fR(3C) function. If the lock cannot be acquired
  73 without waiting for other threads to unlock the lock, this wait will be
  74 terminated when the specified timeout expires. The timeout expires when the
  75 absolute time specified by \fIabs_timeout\fR passes, as measured by the
  76 \fBCLOCK_REALTIME\fR clock (that is, when the value of that clock equals or
  77 exceeds \fIabs_timeout\fR), or if the absolute time specified by
  78 \fIabs_timeout\fR has already been passed at the time of the call.
  79 .sp
  80 .LP
  81 The \fBpthread_rwlock_reltimedwrlock_np()\fR function is identical to the
  82 \fBpthread_rwlock_timedwrlock()\fR function, except that the timeout is
  83 specified as a relative time interval. The timeout expires when the time
  84 interval specified by \fIrel_timeout\fR passes, as measured by the
  85 \fBCLOCK_REALTIME\fR clock, or if the time interval specified by
  86 \fIrel_timeout\fR is negative at the time of the call.
  87 .sp
  88 .LP
  89 The resolution of the timeout is the resolution of the \fBCLOCK_REALTIME\fR
  90 clock. The \fBtimespec\fR data type is defined in the <\fBtime.h\fR> header.
  91 Under no circumstances does either function fail with a timeout if the lock can
  92 be acquired immediately. The validity of the a\fIbs_timeout\fR parameter need
  93 not be checked if the lock can be immediately acquired.
  94 .sp
  95 .LP
  96 If a signal that causes a signal handler to be executed is delivered to a
  97 thread blocked on a read- write lock with a call to
  98 \fBpthread_rwlock_timedwrlock()\fR or \fBpthread_rwlock_reltimedwrlock_np()\fR,
  99 upon return from the signal handler the thread resumes waiting for the lock as
 100 if it was not interrupted.
 101 .sp
 102 .LP
 103 The calling thread can deadlock if at the time the call is made it holds the
 104 read-write lock. The results are undefined if this function is called with an
 105 uninitialized read-write lock.

 109 The \fBpthread_rwlock_timedwrlock()\fR and
