Pedro F. Giffuni b6413b6db8 POSIX compliance improvements in the pthread(3) functions.
This basically adds makes use of the C99 restrict keyword, and also
adds some 'const's to four threading functions: pthread_mutexattr_gettype(),
pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling(), pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol(), and
pthread_mutex_getprioceiling. The changes are in accordance to POSIX/SUSv4-2018.

.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm pthread_cond_wait
.Nd wait on a condition variable
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libpthread
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In pthread.h
.Ft int
.Fn pthread_cond_wait "pthread_cond_t *restrict cond" "pthread_mutex_t *restrict mutex"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn pthread_cond_wait
function atomically blocks the current thread waiting on the condition
variable specified by
.Fa cond ,
and releases the mutex specified by
.Fa mutex .
The waiting thread unblocks only after another thread calls
.Xr pthread_cond_signal 3 ,
or
.Xr pthread_cond_broadcast 3
with the same condition variable, and the current thread reacquires the lock
on
.Fa mutex .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If successful, the
.Fn pthread_cond_wait
function will return zero.
Otherwise an error number will be returned to
indicate the error.
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn pthread_cond_wait
function will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
The value specified by
.Fa cond
or the value specified by
.Fa mutex
is invalid.
.It Bq Er EPERM
The specified
.Fa mutex
was not locked by the calling thread.
.It Bq Er EOWNERDEAD
The argument
.Fa mutex
points to a robust mutex and the previous owning thread terminated
while holding the mutex lock.
The lock was granted to the caller and it is up to the new owner
to make the state consistent.
.It Bq Er ENOTRECOVERABLE
The state protected by the
.Fa mutex
is not recoverable.

.Xr pthread_cond_destroy 3 ,
.Xr pthread_cond_init 3 ,
.Xr pthread_cond_signal 3 ,
.Xr pthread_cond_timedwait 3 ,

.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Fn pthread_cond_wait
function conforms to
.St -p1003.1-96 .
