NAME
pthread_rwlock_init — initialize a read/write lockLIBRARY
POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)SYNOPSIS
#include < pthread.h> int
pthread_rwlock_init( pthread_rwlock_t *lock, const pthread_rwlockattr_t *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.
STANDARDS
The pthread_rwlock_init() function is expected to conform to Version 2 of the Single UNIX Specification (“SUSv2”).HISTORY
