This structure describes the interface a threading library uses for condition variables\&.

It's used to tell evthread_set_condition_callbacks how to use locking on this platform\&.

Function to allocate and initialize a new condition variable\&. Returns the condition variable on success, and NULL on failure\&. The 'condtype' argument will be 0 with this API version\&.

|

|
|
Function to signal a condition variable\&. If 'broadcast' is 1, all threads waiting on 'cond' should be woken; otherwise, only on one thread is worken\&. Should return 0 on success, -1 on failure\&. This function will only be called while holding the associated lock for the condition\&.

.PP
|
||
|
|
Function to wait for a condition variable\&. The lock 'lock' will be held when this function is called; should be released while waiting for the condition to be come signalled, and should be held again when this function returns\&. If timeout is provided, it is interval of seconds to wait for the event to become signalled; if it is NULL, the function should wait indefinitely\&.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The function should return -1 on error; 0 if the condition was signalled, or 1 on a timeout\&.
