+.Dt SEM_TIMEDWAIT 3
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sem_timedwait
+.Nd "lock a semaphore"
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libpthread
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In semaphore.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn sem_timedwait "sem_t *sem" "const struct timespec *abs_timeout"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn sem_timedwait
+function locks the semaphore referenced by
+.Fa sem ,
+as in the
+.Xr sem_wait 3
+function.
+However, if the semaphore cannot be locked without waiting for
+another process or thread to unlock the semaphore by performing
+a
+.Xr sem_post 3
+function, this wait will be terminated when the specified timeout expires.
+.Pp
+The timeout will expire when the absolute time specified by
+.Fa abs_timeout
+passes, as measured by the clock on which timeouts are based (that is,
+when the value of that clock equals or exceeds
+.Fa abs_timeout ) ,
+or if the
+absolute time specified by
+.Fa abs_timeout
+has already been passed at the time of the call.
+.Pp
+Note that the timeout is based on the
+.Dv CLOCK_REALTIME
+clock.
+.Pp
+The validity of the
+.Fa abs_timeout
+is not checked if the semaphore can be locked immediately.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn sem_timedwait
+function returns zero if the calling process successfully performed the
+semaphore lock operation on the semaphore designated by
+.Fa sem .
+If the call was unsuccessful, the state of the semaphore is unchanged,
+and the function returns a value of \-1 and sets the global variable
+.Va errno
+to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn sem_timedwait
+function will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The
+.Fa sem
+argument does not refer to a valid semaphore, or the process or thread would
+have blocked, and the
+.Fa abs_timeout
+parameter specified a nanoseconds field value less than zero or greater than
+or equal to 1000 million.
+.It Bq Er ETIMEDOUT
+The semaphore could not be locked before the specified timeout expired.
+.It Bq Er EINTR
+A signal interrupted this function.
