.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In pthread.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock "pthread_rwlock_t *rwlock" "const struct timespec *abs_timeout"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function acquires a write lock on the read-write lock
|
|
.Fa rwlock .
|
|
However, if the lock cannot be
|
|
acquired without waiting for another thread to
|
|
unlock the lock,
|
|
this wait shall be terminated when
|
|
.Fa abs_timeout
|
|
expires.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the thread should be interrupted by a signal,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock
|
|
function will be automatically restarted after the thread returns from
|
|
the signal handler.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The calling thread may deadlock if
|
|
at the time the call is made it holds
|
|
.Fa rwlock .
|
|
The results are undefined if this function is called with
|
|
an uninitialized read-write lock.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
To prevent writer starvation, writers are favored over readers.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful, the
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock
|
|
function will return zero.
|
|
Otherwise, an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This function shall not return an error code of
|
|
.Er EINTR .
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock
|
|
function shall fail if:

The value specified by
|
|
.Fa rwlock
|
|
does not refer to an initialized read-write lock object,
|
|
or the

|
.Fa abs_timeout
|
|
nanosecond value is less than zero or
|
|
greater than or equal to 1 billion.
