Suspends execution of the currently running thread until specified time interval is elapsed, or until the function is woken up by a signal.
Arguments
eax |
267 |
ebx |
Clock identifier. Currently supported values are:
CLOCK_REALTIME |
Systemwide realtime clock. |
CLOCK_MONOTONIC |
Represents monotonic time. Cannot be set. |
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID |
High resolution per-process timer. |
CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID |
Thread-specific timer. |
|
|
ecx |
Type of behavior the call will take. So far, the only value defined for this parameter is TIMER_ABSTIME. This value causes the current thread to be suspended from execution in three ways:
- Until either the time value of the clock specified by ebx reaches the absolute time specified by the timespec structure pointed by esi.
- Until a signal is delivered to the calling thread and its action is to invoke a signal-catching function.
- Until the process is terminated.
|
edx |
Pointer to a timespec structure specifying the time interval for waiting. |
esi |
Pointer to a timespec
structure which will be updated with the amount of time remaining in the time interval (requested minus sleep time). This argument may be 0. |
Return values
If the system call succeeds the return value is 0.
If the system call fails the return value is one of the following errno values:
-EINVAL |
An invalid ebx value or an invalid esi was specified. |
-EFAULT |
The value was could not be copied to the structure pointed by esi or an invalid edx value was specified. |
