.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_rdlock
|
|
|
|
|
function acquires a read lock on
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa lock
|
|
|
|
|
provided that
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa lock
|
|
|
|
|
is not presently held for writing and no writer threads are
|
|
|
|
|
presently blocked on the lock. If the read lock cannot be
|
|
|
|
|
immediately acquired, the calling thread blocks until it can
|
|
|
|
|
acquire the lock.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock
|
|
|
|
|
function performs the same action, but does not block if the lock
|
|
|
|
|
cannot be immediately obtained (i.e. the lock is held for writing
|
|
|
|
|
or there are waiting writers).
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
A thread may hold multiple concurrent read locks. If so,
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_unlock
|
|
|
|
|
must be called once for each lock obtained.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The results of acquiring a read lock while the calling thread holds
|
|
|
|
|
a write lock are undefined.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
|
|
|
To prevent writer starvation, writers are favored over readers.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
|
If successful, the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_rdlock
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock
|
|
|
|
|
functions will return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned
|
|
|
|
|
to indicate the error.

.Sh ERRORS
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock
|
|
|
|
|
function will fail if:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
|
|
|
.It Bq Er EBUSY
|
|
|
|
|
The lock could not be acquired because a writer holds the lock or
|
|
|
|
|
was blocked on it.

The

|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock

|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
|
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
|
|
|
The lock could not be acquired because the maximum number of read locks
|
|
|
|
|
against
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa lock
|
|
|
|
|
has been exceeded.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Bq Er EDEADLK
|
|
|
|
|
The current thread already owns
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa lock
|
|
|
|
|
for writing.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
|
|
|
The value specified by
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa lock
|
|
|
|
|
is invalid.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
|
|
|
|
|
Insufficient memory exists to initialize the lock (applies to
|
|
|
|
|
statically initialized locks only).
