annotate docs/man3/SDL_SemWaitTimeout.3 @ 211:0cc95f442f3a
If we're looking at the /dev/input event devices, and we found
at least one, then we don't want to look at the input joystick
devices, since they're built on top of devices that we've already
seen, so we're done.

| 3 SDL_SemWaitTimeout\- Lock a semaphore, but only wait up to a specified maximum time\&. | |

| 10 .SH "DESCRIPTION" | |
| 11 .PP | |
| 12 \fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout()\fP is a varient of \fISDL_SemWait\fR with a maximum timeout value\&. If the value of the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR is positive (greater than zero) it will atomically decrement the semaphore value and return 0, otherwise it will wait up to \fBtimeout\fR milliseconds trying to lock the semaphore\&. This function is to be avoided if possible since on some platforms it is implemented by polling the semaphore every millisecond in a busy loop\&. | |
| 13 .PP | |
| 14 After \fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout()\fP is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to \fISDL_SemPost\fR\&. | |
| 15 .SH "RETURN VALUE" | |
| 16 .PP | |
| 17 Returns \fB0\fR if the semaphore was successfully locked or either \fBSDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT\fR or \fB-1\fR if the timeout period was exceeded or there was an error, respectivly\&. | |
| 18 .PP | |
| 19 If the semaphore was not successfully locked, the semaphore will be unchanged\&. | |
