.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_init
|
|
function is used to initialize a read/write lock, with attributes
|
|
specified by
|
|
.Fa attr .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa attr
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
the default read/write lock attributes are used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The results of calling
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_init
|
|
with an already initialized lock are undefined.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The macro
|
|
.Dv PTHREAD_RWLOCK_INITIALIZER
|
|
can be used to initialize a read/write lock when the allocation can be done
|
|
statically, no error checking is required, and the default attributes are
|
|
appropriate.
|
|
The behavior is similar to calling
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_init
|
|
with
|
|
.Fa attr
|
|
specified as
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.\" -----
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_destroy
|
|
function is used to destroy a read/write lock previously created with
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_init .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.\" -----
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_rdlock
|
|
function acquires a read lock on
|
|
.Fa lock
|
|
provided that
|
|
.Fa lock
|
|
is not presently held for writing and no writer threads are
|
|
presently blocked on the lock.
|
|
If the read lock cannot be immediately acquired, the calling thread
|
|
blocks until it can acquire the lock.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock
|
|
performs the same action, but will not wait beyond
|
|
.Fa abstime
|
|
to obtain the lock before returning.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock
|
|
function performs the same action as
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_rdlock ,
|
|
but does not block if the lock cannot be immediately obtained (i.e.,
|
|
the lock is held for writing or there are waiting writers).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A thread may hold multiple concurrent read locks.
|
|
If so,
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_unlock
|
|
must be called once for each lock obtained.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The results of acquiring a read lock while the calling thread holds
|
|
a write lock are undefined.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.\" -----
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_wrlock
|
|
function blocks until a write lock can be acquired against
|
|
.Fa lock .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock
|
|
performs the same action, but will not wait beyond
|
|
.Fa abstime
|
|

|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_trywrlock

|
function performs the same action as
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_wrlock ,
|
|
but does not block if the lock cannot be immediately obtained.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The results are undefined if the calling thread already holds the
|
|
lock at the time the call is made.

.\" -----
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_unlock
|

.Fn pthread_rwlock_rdlock ,
|
|

.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful, the
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_init
|
|
function will return zero.
|
|
Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If successful, the
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_destroy ,
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_rdlock ,

|
will return zero.
|
|
Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.

The results are undefined if

is not held by the calling thread.
