ReturnCode_t wait	(	Vector	active_conditions,
		Duration_t	timeout
	)			[inline]

Causes the controlling thread to block until an attached condition is triggered or timeout elapses.

A return value of DDS_RETCODE_OK indicates that one or more of the attached conditions evaluated to TRUE. Those 'active' conditions are included in the 'out' parameter active_conditions.

A return value of DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT indicates that the timeout period elapsed without any of the conditions evaluating to TRUE.
