pthread_rwlock_wrlock, pthread_rwlock_trywrlock - lock or attempt to lock read-write lock object for writing SYNOPSIS
cc -mt [ flag... ] file... -lpthread [ library... ] #include <pthread.h> int pthread_rwlock_wrlock(pthread_rwlock_t *rwlock); int pthread_rwlock_trywrlock(pthread_rwlock_t *rwlock); The pthread_rwlock_wrlock() function applies a write lock to the read-write lock referenced by rwlock. The calling thread acquires the write lock if no other thread (reader or writer) holds the read-write lock rwlock. Otherwise, the thread blocks until it can acquire the lock. The pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() function applies a write lock like the pthread_rwlock_wrlock() function, with the exception that the func- tion fails if any thread currently holds rwlock (for reading or writing). Writers are favored over readers of the same priority to avoid writer starvation. See pthread_rwlock_rdlock(3C). Results are undefined if any of these functions are called with an uninitialized read-write lock. If a signal is delivered to a thread waiting for a read-write lock for writing, upon return from the signal handler the thread resumes waiting for the read-write lock for writing as if it was not interrupted. If successful, the pthread_rwlock_wrlock() function returns 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error. The pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() function returns 0 if the lock for writing on the read-write lock object referenced by rwlock is acquired. Otherwise an error number is returned to indicate the error. The pthread_rwlock_wrlock() function will fail if: EDEADLK The current thread already owns the read-write lock for writing or reading. The pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() function will fail if: EBUSY The read-write lock could not be acquired for writing because it was already locked for reading or writing.
