NAME
tis_read_trylock - Attempts to acquire a read-write lock for read access. Does not wait if the lock cannot be immediately granted. LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <tis.h> int tis_read_trylock( tis_rwlock_t *lock); STANDARDS
None PARAMETERS
Address of the read-write lock to be acquired. DESCRIPTION

If a holder of the lock for write access exists, [EBUSY] is returned. If the lock cannot be acquired for read access immediately, the calling program does not wait for the lock to be released. RETURN VALUES
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows: Successful completion; the lock was acquired. The lock is being held for write access. The lock for read access was not acquired. ERRORS
