NAME
       sia_timed_action	 -  Time  limit	 routine  -  SIA (Security Integration
       Architecture)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <siad.h>

       int sia_timed_action(
	       int *(action)(),
	       void  *params,
	       time_t timeout );

LIBRARY
       Standard C library (libc.so and libc.a)

PARAMETERS
       This parameter is a function pointer to the action  being  timed.   The
       parameters  to the function specified with the action() parameter.  The
       maximum time in seconds allowed for the action.

DESCRIPTION
       The sia_timed_action() routine provides a way to call a function with a
       time  limit and signal protection. If SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGTERM,
       or SIGALRM is received, sia_timed_action() fails.

RETURN VALUES
       The sia_timed_action() routine returns SIAFAIL  if  a  SIGHUP,  SIGINT,
       SIGQUIT, SIGTERM, or SIGALRM signal is received or if a timeout occurs.
       Otherwise, the return value from the action() call is returned.

ERRORS
       The errno value is not (normally) set explicitly by sia_* routines. The
       errno values are those returned from the dynamic loader interface, from
       dependent (siad_*) routines, or from malloc.  Possible  errors  include
       resource constraints (no memory) and various authentication failures.

FILES
       /etc/passwd

       /etc/sia/matrix.conf
