std::timed_mutex::try_lock_for(3)

NAME
std::timed_mutex::try_lock_for - std::timed_mutex::try_lock_for

Synopsis
   template< class Rep, class Period >
   bool try_lock_for( const std::chrono::duration<Rep,Period>& (since C++11)
   timeout_duration );
   Tries to lock the mutex. Blocks until specified timeout_duration has elapsed or the
   lock is acquired, whichever comes first. On successful lock acquisition returns
   true, otherwise returns false.
   If timeout_duration is less or equal timeout_duration.zero(), the function behaves
   like try_lock().
   This function may block for longer than timeout_duration due to scheduling or
   resource contention delays.
   The standard recommends that a steady_clock is used to measure the duration. If an
   implementation uses a system_clock instead, the wait time may also be sensitive to
   clock adjustments.
   As with try_lock(), this function is allowed to fail spuriously and return false
   even if the mutex was not locked by any other thread at some point during
   timeout_duration.
   Prior unlock() operation on the same mutex synchronizes-with (as defined in
   std::memory_order) this operation if it returns true.
   If try_lock_for is called by a thread that already owns the mutex, the behavior is
   undefined.

Parameters
   timeout_duration - minimum duration to block for

Return value
   true if the lock was acquired successfully, otherwise false.

Exceptions
   Any exception thrown by clock, time_point, or duration during the execution (clocks,
   time points, and durations provided by the standard library never throw)

Example
// Run this code
 #include <iostream>
 #include <mutex>
 #include <chrono>
 #include <thread>
 #include <vector>
 #include <sstream>
 using namespace std::chrono_literals;
 std::mutex cout_mutex; // control access to std::cout
 std::timed_mutex mutex;
 void job(int id)
 {
     std::ostringstream stream;
     for (int i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
         if (mutex.try_lock_for(100ms)) {
             stream << "success ";
             std::this_thread::sleep_for(100ms);
             mutex.unlock();
         } else {
             stream << "failed ";
         }
         std::this_thread::sleep_for(100ms);
     }
     std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock{cout_mutex};
     std::cout << "[" << id << "] " << stream.str() << "\n";
 }
 int main()
 {
     std::vector<std::thread> threads;
     for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
         threads.emplace_back(job, i);
     }
     for (auto& i: threads) {
         i.join();
     }
 }

Possible output:
 [0] failed failed failed
 [3] failed failed success
 [2] failed success failed
 [1] success failed success
