.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Use the standard hashed waitqueue table to wait for a bit to be cleared\&. This is similar to
\fBwait_on_bit\fR, except also takes a timeout parameter\&.
.PP
Returned value will be zero if the bit was cleared before the
\fItimeout\fR
elapsed, or non\-zero if the
\fItimeout\fR
elapsed or process received a signal and the mode permitted wakeup on that signal\&.
