I am not replacing the following header files used by the Windows build, as I don't have a Windows build setup to test. Please point the Windows build at the header files inside these clean distribution packages and garbage collect the duplicates: GLew/*.h and SDL/Include_1.2. git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5711 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e

.SH "NAME"
|
|
SDL_SemWaitTimeout \- Lock a semaphore, but only wait up to a specified maximum time\&.

.SH "SYNOPSIS"

\fB#include "SDL\&.h"

#include "SDL_thread\&.h"

\fBint \fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout\fP\fR(\fBSDL_sem *sem, Uint32 timeout\fR);
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout()\fP is a varient of \fISDL_SemWait\fR with a maximum timeout value\&. If the value of the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR is positive (greater than zero) it will atomically decrement the semaphore value and return 0, otherwise it will wait up to \fBtimeout\fR milliseconds trying to lock the semaphore\&. This function is to be avoided if possible since on some platforms it is implemented by polling the semaphore every millisecond in a busy loop\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
After \fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout()\fP is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to \fISDL_SemPost\fR\&.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
.PP
|
|
Returns \fB0\fR if the semaphore was successfully locked or either \fBSDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT\fR or \fB-1\fR if the timeout period was exceeded or there was an error, respectivly\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the semaphore was not successfully locked, the semaphore will be unchanged\&.
