(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! SDL2 is the current stable version!)

SDL_WaitSemaphoreTimeout

Wait until a semaphore has a positive value and then decrements it.

Syntax

int SDL_WaitSemaphoreTimeout(SDL_Semaphore *sem, Sint32 timeoutMS);

Function Parameters

sem	the semaphore to wait on
timeoutMS	the length of the timeout, in milliseconds

Return Value

Returns 0 if the wait succeeds, SDL_MUTEX_TIMEDOUT if the wait does not succeed in the allotted time, or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

Remarks

This function suspends the calling thread until either the semaphore pointed to by sem has a positive value, the call is interrupted by a signal or error, or the specified time has elapsed. If the call is successful it will atomically decrement the semaphore value.

Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
