PTHREAD_RWLOCK_UNLOCK(3P) POSIX Programmer's ManualPTHREAD_RWLOCK_UNLOCK(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
pthread_rwlock_unlock — unlock a read-write lock object
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_rwlock_unlock(pthread_rwlock_t *rwlock);
The pthread_rwlock_unlock() function shall release a lock held on the
read-write lock object referenced by rwlock. Results are undefined
if the read-write lock rwlock is not held by the calling thread.
If this function is called to release a read lock from the read-write
lock object and there are other read locks currently held on this
read-write lock object, the read-write lock object remains in the
read locked state. If this function releases the last read lock for
this read-write lock object, the read-write lock object shall be put
in the unlocked state with no owners.
If this function is called to release a write lock for this read-
write lock object, the read-write lock object shall be put in the
unlocked state.
If there are threads blocked on the lock when it becomes available,
the scheduling policy shall determine which thread(s) shall acquire
the lock. If the Thread Execution Scheduling option is supported,
when threads executing with the scheduling policies SCHED_FIFO,
SCHED_RR, or SCHED_SPORADIC are waiting on the lock, they shall
acquire the lock in priority order when the lock becomes available.
For equal priority threads, write locks shall take precedence over
read locks. If the Thread Execution Scheduling option is not
supported, it is implementation-defined whether write locks take
precedence over read locks.
Results are undefined if this function is called with an
uninitialized read-write lock.
If successful, the pthread_rwlock_unlock() function shall return
zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the
error.
The pthread_rwlock_unlock() function shall not return an error code
of [EINTR].
The following sections are informative.
None.
None.
If an implementation detects that the value specified by the rwlock
argument to pthread_rwlock_unlock() does not refer to an initialized
read-write lock object, it is recommended that the function should
fail and report an [EINVAL] error.
If an implementation detects that the value specified by the rwlock
argument to pthread_rwlock_unlock() refers to a read-write lock
object for which the current thread does not hold a lock, it is
recommended that the function should fail and report an [EPERM]
error.
None.
