PTHREAD_RWLOCKATTR(3)Library Functions ManualPTHREAD_RWLOCKATTR(3)

NAME

pthread_rwlockattr_init, pthread_rwlockattr_destroy, pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared, pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared — initialize, destroy or query read/write lock attributes

LIBRARY

POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_rwlockattr_init(pthread_rwlockattr_t *attr);

int pthread_rwlockattr_destroy(pthread_rwlockattr_t *attr);

int pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared(const pthread_rwlockattr_t *__restrict attr, int * __restrict pshared);

int pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared(pthread_rwlockattr_t *attr, int pshared);

DESCRIPTION

The pthread_rwlockattr_init() function is used to initialize a read/write lock attributes object.

The pthread_rwlockattr_destroy() function is used to destroy a read/write lock attribute object previously created with pthread_rwlockattr_init().

The pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared() function shall obtain the value of process-shared attribute from the initialized attributes object referenced by attr.

The pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() function shall set the process-shared attribute in an initialized attributes object referenced by attr.

RETURN VALUES

If successful, all these functions return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS

pthread_rwlockattr_init() shall fail if:

[ENOMEM]
Insufficient memory exists to initialize the read/write lock attributes object.

pthread_rwlockattr_init() and pthread_rwlockattr_destroy() may fail if:

[EINVAL]
The value specified by attr is invalid.

pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared() and pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() may fail if:

[EINVAL]
The value specified by attr is invalid.

SEE ALSO

pthread_rwlock_init(3)

STANDARDS

Both functions conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”).

BUGS

The pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared() and pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() functions are hidden by default since only thread shared attributes are supported.
