clear_wait(9r)
NAME
  clear_wait - General: Clears the wait condition

SYNOPSIS
  void clear_wait(
	  thread_t thread,
	  int result,
	  boolean_t interrupt_only );

ARGUMENTS
  thread
      Specifies a pointer to the thread

  result
      Specifies the outcome of the wait. You can pass one of the following
      values:

      THREAD_AWAKENED
	  This is a normal wakeup.

      THREAD_TIMED_OUT
	  The timeout period expired.

      THREAD_INTERRUPTED
	  The clear_wait routine interrupted the wakeup.

  interrupt_only
      Specifies a Boolean value that indicates how the clear_wait routine
      clears the wait condition. You can pass one of the following values:

      TRUE
	  Clears the wait condition only if the kernel thread is waiting in
	  an interruptible state.

      FALSE
	  Clears the wait condition under any circumstances.

DESCRIPTION
  The clear_wait routine clears the wait condition for the specified kernel
  thread and starts executing the kernel thread, if appropriate. If the
  kernel thread is interruptible and is still waiting for the event,
  clear_wait sets the kernel thread state to TH_RUN and places it on the run
  queue.

RETURN VALUES
  None
