# SDL\_CondWaitTimeout(3)

Wait on a condition variable, with timeout

## NAME

SDL\_CondWaitTimeout - Wait on a condition variable, with timeout

## SYNOPSIS

**#include "SDL.h"** **#include "SDL\_thread.h"**

**int SDL\_CondWaitTimeout**(**SDL\_cond \*cond, SDL\_mutex \*mutex, Uint32 ms**);

## DESCRIPTION

Wait on the condition variable **cond** for, at most, **ms** milliseconds. **mut** is unlocked so it must be locked when the function is called. Returns **SDL\_MUTEX\_TIMEDOUT** if the condition is not signalled in the allotted time, **0** if it was signalled or **-1** on an error.
