| michael@0 | 40 | ** caller specified amount of time expires. The lock associated with |
| michael@0 | 41 | ** the condition variable will be released, which must have be held |
| michael@0 | 42 | ** prior to the call to wait. |
| michael@0 | 43 | ** |
| michael@0 | 44 | ** Logically a notified thread is moved from the "waiting on condition" |
| michael@0 | 45 | ** state and made "ready." When scheduled, it will attempt to reacquire |
| michael@0 | 46 | ** the lock that it held when wait was called. |
| michael@0 | 47 | ** |
| michael@0 | 48 | ** The timeout has two well known values, PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT and |
| michael@0 | 49 | ** PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT. The former value requires that a condition be |
| michael@0 | 50 | ** notified (or the thread interrupted) before it will resume from the |
| michael@0 | 51 | ** wait. If the timeout has a value of PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT, the effect |
| michael@0 | 52 | ** is to release the lock, possibly causing a rescheduling within the |
| michael@0 | 53 | ** runtime, then immediately attempting to reacquire the lock and resume. |
| michael@0 | 54 | ** |
| michael@0 | 55 | ** Any other value for timeout will cause the thread to be rescheduled |
| michael@0 | 56 | ** either due to explicit notification or an expired interval. The latter |
| michael@0 | 57 | ** must be determined by treating time as one part of the monitored data |
| michael@0 | 58 | ** being protected by the lock and tested explicitly for an expired |
| michael@0 | 59 | ** interval. |

| michael@0 | 62 | ** with the condition variable or the thread was interrupted (PR_Interrupt()). |
