untimeout Utility

Purpose

Cancels a pending timeout request.

Syntax

int untimeout(id) int id;

Description

The untimeout utility cancels the specific request made with the timeout utility.

This utility is part of STREAMS Kernel Extensions.

Note

This utility must not be confused with the kernel service of the same name in the libsys.a library. STREAMS modules and drivers inherently use this version, not the libsys.a library version. No special action is required to use this version in the STREAMS environment.

Parameters

id	Specifies the identifier returned from the corresponding timeout request.

Execution Environment

The untimeout utility can be called from either the process or interrupt environment.
