[Boost-users] [thread] how to use thread::timed_join

I want to do a timed join, with  a relative time of 0.1s.
I can not figure out from the docs how to do this.
I find the prototypes somewhat mystifying:

     bool timed_join(const system_time& wait_until);

     template<typename TimeDuration> bool timed_join(TimeDuration const& rel_time);

What is system_time?
What should TimeDuration be?

I'm using Windows.

Thank you,
Johan Råde
