.SH NAME
pthread_tryjoin_np, pthread_timedjoin_np \- try to join with a
terminated thread
.SH LIBRARY
POSIX threads library
.RI ( libpthread ", " \-lpthread )
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.BR "#define _GNU_SOURCE" " /* See feature_test_macros(7) */"
.B #include <pthread.h>
.P
.BI "int pthread_tryjoin_np(pthread_t " thread ", void **" retval );
.BI "int pthread_timedjoin_np(pthread_t " thread ", void **" retval ,
.BI " const struct timespec *" abstime );
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions operate in the same way as
.BR pthread_join (3),
except for the differences described on this page.
.P
The
.BR pthread_tryjoin_np ()
function performs a nonblocking join with the thread
.IR thread ,
returning the exit status of the thread in
.IR *retval .
If
.I thread
has not yet terminated, then instead of blocking, as is done by
.BR pthread_join (3),
the call returns an error.
.P
The
.BR pthread_timedjoin_np ()
function performs a join-with-timeout.
If
.I thread
has not yet terminated,
then the call blocks until a maximum time, specified in
.IR abstime ,
measured against the
.B CLOCK_REALTIME
clock.
If the timeout expires before
.I thread
terminates,
the call returns an error.
The
.I abstime
argument is a
.BR timespec (3)
structure,
specifying an absolute time measured since the Epoch (see
.BR time (2)).
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success,
these functions return 0;
on error, they return an error number.
.SH ERRORS
These functions can fail with the same errors as
.BR pthread_join (3).
.BR pthread_tryjoin_np ()
can in addition fail with the following error:
.TP
.B EBUSY
.I thread
had not yet terminated at the time of the call.
.P
.BR pthread_timedjoin_np ()
can in addition fail with the following errors:
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I abstime
value is invalid
.RI ( tv_sec
is less than 0 or
.I tv_nsec
is greater than 1e9).
.TP
.B ETIMEDOUT
The call timed out before
.I thread
terminated.
.P
.BR pthread_timedjoin_np ()
never returns the error
.BR EINTR .

.SH STANDARDS
GNU;
hence the suffix "_np" (nonportable) in the names.
.SH HISTORY
glibc 2.3.3.
.SH BUGS
The
.BR pthread_timedjoin_np ()
function measures time by internally calculating a relative sleep interval
that is then measured against the
.B CLOCK_MONOTONIC
clock instead of the
.B CLOCK_REALTIME
clock.
Consequently, the timeout is unaffected by discontinuous changes to the
.B CLOCK_REALTIME
clock.
.SH EXAMPLES
The following code waits to join for up to 5 seconds:
.P
.in +4n
.EX
struct timespec ts;
int s;
\&
\&...
\&
if (clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &ts) == \-1) {
/* Handle error */
}
\&
ts.tv_sec += 5;
\&
s = pthread_timedjoin_np(thread, NULL, &ts);
if (s != 0) {
/* Handle error */
}

.in
