pthread_get_expiration_np(3-thr)           pthread_get_expiration_np(3-thr)

NAME
     pthreadgetexpirationnp - obtains a value representing a desired
     expiration time

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pthread.h>

     int pthreadgetexpirationnp(
          struct timespec *delta,
          struct timespec *abstime);

PARAMETERS
     delta     Number of seconds and nanoseconds to add to the current sys-
               tem time. The result is the time when a timed wait expires.

     abstime   Value representing the expiration time.

DESCRIPTION
     The pthreadgetexpirationnp() routine adds a specified interval to
     the current absolute system time and returns a new absolute time. This
     new absolute time is used as the expiration time in a call to
     pthreadcondtimedwait(). This routine is a new primitive.

     The struct timespec structure contains two fields, as follows:

     -  The tvsec field is an integer number of seconds.

     -  The tvnsec field is an integer number of nanoseconds.

RETURN VALUES
     If the function fails, errno may be set to one of the following
     values:

     EINVAL    The value specified by delta is invalid.

SEE ALSO
     pthreadcondtimedwait(3-thr).
