PROLOG

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

pthread_mutex_getprioceiling, pthread_mutex_setprioceiling - get and set the priority ceiling of a mutex ( REALTIME THREADS)

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h>
 
 
int pthread_mutex_getprioceiling(const pthread_mutex_t *restrict mutex ,
 
       int *restrict prioceiling );
 
int pthread_mutex_setprioceiling(pthread_mutex_t *restrict mutex ,
 
       int prioceiling , int *restrict old_ceiling );
 

DESCRIPTION

The pthread_mutex_getprioceiling() function shall return the current priority ceiling of the mutex.

The pthread_mutex_setprioceiling() function shall either lock the mutex if it is unlocked, or block until it can successfully lock the mutex, then it shall change the mutex's priority ceiling and release the mutex. When the change is successful, the previous value of the priority ceiling shall be returned in old_ceiling. The process of locking the mutex need not adhere to the priority protect protocol.

If the pthread_mutex_setprioceiling() function fails, the mutex priority ceiling shall not be changed.

RETURN VALUE

If successful, the pthread_mutex_getprioceiling() and pthread_mutex_setprioceiling() functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS

The pthread_mutex_getprioceiling() and pthread_mutex_setprioceiling() functions may fail if:
EINVAL
The priority requested by prioceiling is out of range.
EINVAL
The value specified by mutex does not refer to a currently existing mutex.
EPERM
The caller does not have the privilege to perform the operation.
 

These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
