|
** the condition variable will be released, which must have be held

|
** Logically a notified thread is moved from the "waiting on condition"
|

** state and made "ready." When scheduled, it will attempt to reacquire

** the lock that it held when wait was called.
|
|
**
|
|
** The timeout has two well known values, PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT and
|
|
** PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT. The former value requires that a condition be
|
|
** notified (or the thread interrupted) before it will resume from the
|
|
** wait. If the timeout has a value of PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT, the effect
|
|
** is to release the lock, possibly causing a rescheduling within the
|
|
** runtime, then immediately attempting to reacquire the lock and resume.
|
|
**
|
|
** Any other value for timeout will cause the thread to be rescheduled
|
|
** either due to explicit notification or an expired interval. The latter
|
|
** must be determined by treating time as one part of the monitored data
|
|
** being protected by the lock and tested explicitly for an expired
|
|
** interval.
