I am having difficulty with a simple case of wanting a thread to wait on
an event, with a timeout time. The code to implement this in WIN32 is
attached, I was hoping a Neutrino expert could “enlighten” me as to how
to best implement this for Neutrino. What I have seems awful complex
for such a simple task…

Take a look at TimerTimeout() for timing out any blocking state. Also,
what sort of event are you waiting on? MsgReceive() is a common way
to block (for pulse), but for signals, you might make a different choice.
I can’t comment on your code as you seem to have chosen to attach it
in mime-encoded form, rather than as plain text.

From the above description, I would look at pthread_cond_timedwait().

That’s funny. From the description, I would have thought Dave’s
TimerTimeout suggestion would cover the most likely situation(s).
Not to mention that a timer can also be configured to generate
a POSIX signal or a QNX Pulse – which can be received by a
MsgReceive – and handled as a timeout.
