  25. system clock changes.</P>
  26. <P><B>pthread_timechange_handler_np </B>can be called by an
  27. application when it receives a WM_TIMECHANGE message from the system.
  28. At present it broadcasts all condition variables so that waiting
  29. threads can wake up and re-evaluate their conditions and restart
  30. their timed waits if required.</P>
  31. <P><B>pthread_timechange_handler_np </B>has the same return type and
  32. argument type as a thread routine so that it may be called directly
  33. through pthread_create(), i.e. as a separate thread. If run as a
  34. thread, the return code must be retrieved through <A HREF="pthread_join.html"><B>pthread_join</B>()</A>.</P>
  35. <P>Although the <I>dummy</I> parameter is required it is not used and
  36. any value including NULL can be given.</P>
