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_spin_unlock - unlock a spin lock object ( ADVANCED REALTIME THREADS)

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h>
 
 
int pthread_spin_unlock(pthread_spinlock_t * lock );
 

DESCRIPTION

The pthread_spin_unlock() function shall release the spin lock referenced by lock which was locked via the pthread_spin_lock() or pthread_spin_trylock() functions. The results are undefined if the lock is not held by the calling thread. If there are threads spinning on the lock when pthread_spin_unlock() is called, the lock becomes available and an unspecified spinning thread shall acquire the lock.

The results are undefined if this function is called with an uninitialized thread spin lock.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, the pthread_spin_unlock() function shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS

The pthread_spin_unlock() function may fail if:
EINVAL
An invalid argument was specified.
EPERM
The calling thread does not hold the lock.
 

This function shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

None.

APPLICATION USAGE

The pthread_spin_unlock() function is part of the Spin Locks option and need not be provided on all implementations.

RATIONALE

None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

None.
