The message read by the function is stored in the parameter +\fImessage\fP. It may not exceeed 2048 bytes, including NULL termination. +.PP +The +.BR bus_write () +function shall fail, and set \fIerrno\fP to \fIEAGAIN\fP, if the call +would suspend the process and (\fIflags\fP &BUS_NOWAIT). +.PP +The +.BR bus_write_timed () +function behaves like +.BR bus_write (), +except if it is not able to write the \fImessage\fP within the specified +time, it will fail and set \fIerrno\fP to \fBEAGAIN\fP. The time is +specified as an absolute time using the parameter \fItimeout\fP. The +behaviour is unspecified if \fItimeout\fP is \fINULL\fP. \fItimeout\fP +is measured with the clock whose ID is specified by the \fIclockid\fP +parameter. This clock must be a predicitable clock. +.SH RETURN VALUES +Upon successful completion, these functions returns 0. Otherwise the +function returns -1 and sets \fIerrno\fP to indicate the error. +.SH ERRORS +The +.BR bus_write (3) +function may fail and set \fIerrno\fP to any of the errors specified for +.BR semop (3). +The +.BR bus_write_timed (3) +function may also set \fIerrno\fP to any of the errors specified for +.BR clock_gettime (3). +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR bus-create (1), +.BR bus (5), +.BR libbus (7), +.BR bus_open (3), +.BR bus_read (3), +.BR bus_poll (3), +.BR bus_chown (3), +.BR bus_chmod (3), +.BR clock_gettime (3) +.SH AUTHORS +Principal author, Mattias Andrée.
