FSH SEMSETWAIT

This function allows an FSD to wait for an event. The event is signaled by a call to FSH_SEMCLEAR.

Syntax
FSH_SEMSETWAIT(pSem, cmsTimeout)

Parameters

 * pSem: is the handle to the system semaphore or the long address of the ram semaphore.
 * cmsTimeout: is the number of milliseconds to wait.

Returns
If no error is detected, a zero error code is returned. If an error is detected, one of the following error codes is returned:
 * ERROR_SEM_TIMEOUT the time-out expired without gaining access to the semaphore.
 * ERROR_INTERRUPT the current thread received a signal.
 * ERROR_EXCL_SEM_ALREADY_OWNED the exclusive semaphore is already owned.
 * ERROR_PROTECTION_VIOLATION the semaphore is inaccessible.

Calling Sequence
 int far pascal FSH_SEMSETWAIT(pSem, cmsTimeout)

void far * pSem; unsigned long cmsTimeout; 

Remarks
The caller may return after the time-out period has expired without receiving an ERROR_SEM_TIMEOUT. Semaphore time-out values, therefore, should not be used for exact timing and sequence.

FSH_SEMSETWAIT may block.


 * Note: OS/2 does not validate input parameters. An FSD, therefore, should call FSH_PROBEBUF where appropriate.
