PTHREAD_RWLOCK_INI... DragonFly Library Functions Manual PTHREAD_RWLOCK_INI...

NAME

pthread_rwlock_init -- initialize a read/write lock

LIBRARY

POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h> int pthread_rwlock_init(pthread_rwlock_t * restrict lock, const pthread_rwlockattr_t * restrict attr);

DESCRIPTION

The pthread_rwlock_init() function is used to initialize a read/write lock, with attributes specified by attr. If attr is NULL, the default read/write lock attributes are used. The results of calling pthread_rwlock_init() with an already initialized lock are undefined.

RETURN VALUES

If successful, the pthread_rwlock_init() function will return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS

The pthread_rwlock_init() function will fail if: [EAGAIN] The system lacked the necessary resources (other than memory) to initialize the lock. [ENOMEM] Insufficient memory exists to initialize the lock. [EPERM] The caller does not have sufficient privilege to perform the operation. The pthread_rwlock_init() function may fail if: [EBUSY] The system has detected an attempt to re-initialize the object referenced by lock, a previously initialized but not yet destroyed read/write lock. [EINVAL] The value specified by attr is invalid.

SEE ALSO

pthread_rwlockattr_init(3), pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared(3), pthread_rwlock_destroy(3)

STANDARDS

The pthread_rwlock_init() function is expected to conform to Version 2 of the Single UNIX Specification (``SUSv2'').

HISTORY

The pthread_rwlock_init() function first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0.
