SDL_CondWaitTimeout(3)

SDL_CondWaitTimeout — wait on a condition variable, with timeout 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL API Reference, manual page 3, and today we're getting into SDL_CondWaitTimeout 🫶

✨ 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 💅

so basically you're waiting on the condition variable cond for at most ms milliseconds ⏳. like, you give it a time limit and it will not wait longer than that, periodt.

mut is unlocked — so it must be locked when the function is called 🔒. not optional, bestie.

here's what it hands back to you:

• SDL_MUTEX_TIMEDOUT — if the condition is not signalled in the allotted time 😭
• 0 — if it was signalled ✅
• -1 — on an error 💀

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• SDL_CondWait
