NAME
       thread_set_timeout  -  General:	Sets  a	 timer	for the current kernel
       thread

SYNOPSIS
       void thread_set_timeout(
	       int timeout_interval );

ARGUMENTS
       Specfies the amount of time to wait for an event. The time is  used  in
       conjunction with the assert_wait routine.

DESCRIPTION
       The  thread_set_timeout	routine	 must  be  called as follows: Lock the
       resource.  Call assert_wait_mesg to  assert  that  the  current	kernel
       thread  is about to block.  Unlock the resource.	 Call thread_set_time‐
       out to set the time of delay  for  the  current	kernel	thread.	  Call
       thread_block to block (put to sleep) the current kernel thread.

       The  time  you  specify to wait for the event is automatically canceled
       when the kernel thread awakes.

RETURN VALUES
       None
