|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_wrlock
|
|
function blocks until a write lock can be acquired against
|
|
.Fa lock .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_trywrlock
|
|
function performs the same action, but does not block if the lock
|
|
cannot be immediately obtained.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The results are undefined if the calling thread already holds the
|
|
lock at the time the call is made.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
To prevent writer starvation, writers are favored over readers.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful, the
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_wrlock
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_trywrlock
|
|
functions will return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned
|
|
to indicate the error.
