.TH L4_MIPS_IPC_SLEEP 2 "06.12.97" "CSE/UNSW" "System calls"
.SH NAME
l4_mips_ipc_sleep \- sleep for a specified time interval
.SH "Synopsis"
.br
\fB#include <ipc.h>\fP
.PP
\fBstatic inline int\fP 
.br
\fBl4_mips_ipc_sleep(l4_timeout_t\fP \fItimeout\fP \fB, l4_msgdope_t\fP \fI*result\fP
\fB);\fP
.SH "Description"
This operation includes no send phase and specifies an invalid source
for the receive phase. No message can therefore be received and the ipc
will be terminated with ``receive timeout'' after the time specified in
the parameter \fItimeout\fP is elapsed.
.SH "Arguments"
.IP "\fItimeout\fP"
This 32\-bit word specifies the timeouts value. Only the receive timeout
is relevant. For a detailed description see
the L4 Reference Manual.
.IP "\fIresult\fP"
The message dope describing the result of the ipc.
.SH "Return Values"
The following return values are possible:
.IP "\fBL4_IPC_RETIMEOUT\fP"
Timeout during receive operation.
.IP "\fBL4_IPC_RERCVPFTO\fP"
Receive pagefault timeout.
