NAME
       rt_sigtimedwait	-  Synchronously wait for queued signals specified in
       uthese

SYNOPSIS
       long sys_rt_sigtimedwait (const sigset_t *uthese, siginfo_t *uinfo,
				 const struct struct timespec *uts,
				 size_t sigsetsize);


DESCRIPTION
       rt_sigtimedwait synchronously waits for queued  signals	specified  in
       uthese.	The uinfo value, if non-NULL, indicates to the call to return
       a structure of type siginfo_t containing information about the signal.
       The  uts variable enables an upper bound on the time for when the pro-
       cess is suspended. sigsetsize should indicate the size of  a  sigset_t
       type.


RETURN VALUE
       rt_sigtimedwait	returns	 0 on success; otherwise, rt_sigqueueinfo re-
       turns one of the errors listed in the "Errors" section.


ERRORS
       -EINVAL
	      sigsetsize or uts was invalid.


       -EFAULT
	      uinfo was invalid.


       -EAGAIN
	      No signal in uthese was delivered in the uts time period.


       -EINTR The wait period was interrupted by a signal handler.
