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