+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR sem_wait ()
+decrements (locks) the semaphore pointed to by
+.IR sem .
+If the semaphore's value is greater than zero,
+then the decrement proceeds, and the function returns, immediately.
+If the semaphore currently has the value zero,
+then the call blocks until either it becomes possible to perform
+the decrement (i.e., the semaphore value rises above zero),
+or a signal handler interrupts the call.
+.PP
+.BR sem_trywait ()
+is the same as
+.BR sem_wait (),
+except that if the decrement cannot be immediately performed,
+then call returns an error
+.RI ( errno
+set to
+.BR EAGAIN )
+instead of blocking.
+.PP
+.BR sem_timedwait ()
+is the same as
+.BR sem_wait (),
+except that
+.I abs_timeout
+specifies a limit on the amount of time that the call
+should block if the decrement cannot be immediately performed.
+The
+.I abs_timeout
+argument points to a
+.BR timespec (3)
+structure that specifies an absolute timeout
+in seconds and nanoseconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC).
+.PP
+If the timeout has already expired by the time of the call,
+and the semaphore could not be locked immediately,
+then
+.BR sem_timedwait ()
+fails with a timeout error
+.RI ( errno
+set to
+.BR ETIMEDOUT ).
+.PP
+If the operation can be performed immediately, then
+.BR sem_timedwait ()
+never fails with a timeout error, regardless of the value of
+.IR abs_timeout .
+Furthermore, the validity of
+.I abs_timeout
+is not checked in this case.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+All of these functions return 0 on success;
+on error, the value of the semaphore is left unchanged,
+\-1 is returned, and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EAGAIN
+.RB ( sem_trywait ())
+The operation could not be performed without blocking (i.e., the
+semaphore currently has the value zero).
+.TP
+.B EINTR
+The call was interrupted by a signal handler; see
+.BR signal (7).
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.I sem
+is not a valid semaphore.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.RB ( sem_timedwait ())
+The value of
+.I abs_timeout.tv_nsecs
+is less than 0, or greater than or equal to 1000 million.
+.TP
+.B ETIMEDOUT
+.RB ( sem_timedwait ())
+The call timed out before the semaphore could be locked.
+.\" POSIX.1-2001 also allows EDEADLK -- "A deadlock condition
+.\" was detected", but this does not occur on Linux(?).

+.SH HISTORY
+POSIX.1-2001.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The (somewhat trivial) program shown below operates on an
+unnamed semaphore.
+The program expects two command-line arguments.
+The first argument specifies a seconds value that is used to
+set an alarm timer to generate a
+.B SIGALRM
+signal.
+This handler performs a
+.BR sem_post (3)
+to increment the semaphore that is being waited on in
+.I main()
+using
+.BR sem_timedwait ().
+The second command-line argument specifies the length
+of the timeout, in seconds, for
+.BR sem_timedwait ().
+The following shows what happens on two different runs of the program:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+.RB "$" " ./a.out 2 3"
+About to call sem_timedwait()
+sem_post() from handler
+sem_timedwait() succeeded
+.RB "$" " ./a.out 2 1"
+About to call sem_timedwait()
+sem_timedwait() timed out
