std::unique_lock
 
template< class Rep, class Period >
bool try_lock_for( const std::chrono::duration<Rep,Period>& timeout_duration );
 (since C++11)

Tries to lock the associated 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. Effectively calls mutex()->try_lock_for(timeout_duration).

A steady clock is used to measure the duration. This function may block for longer than timeout_duration due to scheduling or resource contention delays.

std::system_error is thrown if there is no associated mutex or if the mutex is already locked.
