Question related to TimedWait

[k***@gmail.com]

I'm trying to implement an implement a thread that does following a
function:
- Waits on a local sempaphore until it is signalled
- or Specified timeout elapses.

NetWare and Windows has this kind of call
eg: TimedWaitOnLocalSemaphore() for Novell NetWare.

trying to find a UnixWare/Openserver6 equivalent for this call. I can
put some timeout code in the thread. If possible I would prefer a
direct call. couldn't find any references for this in sco
documentation.

I'm new to sco-unix.. please help..

Thanks in advance,
- Steve

cond_timedwait() may be what you are looking for.
