prowait() - Wait For Timer To Expire

The prowait() function causes your application to suspend execution until a specified interval timer, set by the proevt() function, expires. Use prowait() only in special circumstances; signals and interrupts do not interrupt this function:

Syntax

void prowait ( pflag ) char *pflag;

pflag

This input parameter points to a timer flag previously passed to proevt() in order to start the specified time interval. This flag specifies one of many interval timers you can set with proevt().

Note

This function applies only to UNIX systems. For more information on using interval timers, see Chapter 18, " Host Language Call Interface."
