pthread mutex question

[sankar]

Hi,
I am looking for an idea as to how to implement timed mutex using pthread
libraries on linux.
Basically I want to associate a timeout value with the wait function i,e
pthread_mutex_lock() which returns once the timeout expires instaed of
waiting for ever.
Pls help

thx..
