Defined in header <threads.h>
int cnd_wait( cnd_t* cond, mtx_t* mutex );		(since C11)

Atomically unlocks the mutex pointed to by mutex and blocks on the condition variable pointed to by cond until the thread is signalled by cnd_signal or cnd_broadcast, or until a spurious wake-up occurs. The mutex is locked again before the function returns.

The behavior is undefined if the mutex is not already locked by the calling thread.

Parameters

cond	-	pointer to the condition variable to block on
mutex	-	pointer to the mutex to unlock for the duration of the block

Return value

thrd_success if successful, thrd_error otherwise.
