## Detailed Description

## Function Documentation

## ◆ brlapi__pause()

int BRLAPI_STDCALL brlapi__pause | ( | brlapi_handle_t * | handle,
|  | int | timeout_ms )

## ◆ brlapi__sync()

int BRLAPI_STDCALL brlapi__sync | ( | brlapi_handle_t * | handle | ) |

## ◆ brlapi_pause()

int BRLAPI_STDCALL brlapi_pause | ( | int | timeout_ms | ) |

Waits until an event is received from the BrlAPI server

Parameters

  timeout_ms | specifies an optional timeout which can be zero for polling, or -1 for infinite wait

Returns
  0 on timeout, -1 on error, or on interruption by a signal or a parameter change notification, in which case brlapi_errno will be BRLAPI_ERROR_LIBCERR and errno will be EINTR.

## ◆ brlapi_sync()

int BRLAPI_STDCALL brlapi_sync | ( | void |  | ) |

Synchronize against any pending exception, and returns it. This allows to synchronously catch exception raised by brlapi_write calls. This works by temporarily replacing the current exception handler by its own handler.

Returns
  0 if no exception was pending, -1 if an exception was caught.
