+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock
+.Nd "acquire a read-write lock for writing or give up after a specified period"
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libpthread
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In pthread.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock "pthread_rwlock_t *rwlock" "const struct timespec *abs_timeout"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This function acquires a write lock on the read-write lock
+.Fa rwlock .
+However, if the lock cannot be
+acquired without waiting for another thread to
+unlock the lock,
+this wait shall be terminated when
+.Fa abs_timeout
+expires.
+.Pp
+If the thread should be interrupted by a signal,
+the
+.Fn pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock
+function will be automatically restarted after the thread returns from
+the signal handler.
+.Pp
+The calling thread may deadlock if
+at the time the call is made it holds
+.Fa rwlock .
+The results are undefined if this function is called with
+an uninitialized read-write lock.
+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+To prevent writer starvation, writers are favored over readers.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If successful, the
+.Fn pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock
+function will return zero.
+Otherwise, an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
+.Pp
+This function shall not return an error code of
+.Er EINTR .
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock
+function shall fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ETIMEDOUT
+The lock could not be acquired before the specified timeout expired.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock
+function may fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EDEADLK
+The calling thread already holds
+.Fa rwlock .
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The value specified by
+.Fa rwlock
+does not refer to an initialized read-write lock object,
+or the
+.Fa abs_timeout
+nanosecond value is less than zero or
+greater than or equal to 1 billion.
