+<H2><A HREF="#toc2" NAME="sect2">Description</A></H2>
+<P>The <B>pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock</B> function shall apply a read
+lock to the read-write lock referenced by <I>rwlock</I> as in the
+<A HREF="pthread_rwlock_rdlock.html"><B>pthread_rwlock_rdlock</B>(3)</A>
+function. However, if the lock cannot be acquired without waiting for
+other threads to unlock the lock, this wait shall be terminated when
+the specified timeout expires. The timeout shall expire when the
+absolute time specified by <I>abs_timeout</I> passes, as measured by
+the clock on which timeouts are based (that is, when the value of
+that clock equals or exceeds <I>abs_timeout</I>), or if the absolute
+time specified by <I>abs_timeout</I> has already been passed at the
+time of the call.
+</P>
+<P>The <B>timespec</B> data type is defined in the <I>&lt;time.h&gt;</I>
+header. Under no circumstances shall the function fail with a timeout
+if the lock can be acquired immediately. The validity of the
+<I>abs_timeout</I> parameter need not be checked if the lock can be
+immediately acquired.
+</P>
+<P>The calling thread may deadlock if at the time the call is made it
+holds a write lock on <I>rwlock</I>. The results are undefined if
+this function is called with an uninitialized read-write lock.
+</P>
+<P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> defines <B>_POSIX_READER_WRITER_LOCKS</B> in
+pthread.h as 200112L to indicate that the reader/writer routines are
+implemented and may be used.</P>
+<H2><A HREF="#toc3" NAME="sect3">Return Value</A></H2>
+<P>The <B>pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock</B> function shall return zero
+if the lock for reading on the read-write lock object referenced by
+<I>rwlock</I> is acquired. Otherwise, an error number shall be
+returned to indicate the error.
