Updated: 2003
NAME
pthread_spin_unlock - unlock a spin lock object (ADVANCED REALTIME
THREADS)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_spin_unlock(pthread_spinlock_t *lock);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_spin_unlock() function shall release the spin lock
referenced by lock which was locked via the pthread_spin_lock()
or pthread_spin_trylock() functions. The results are undefined
if the lock is not
held by the calling thread. If there are threads spinning on the lock
when pthread_spin_unlock() is called, the lock becomes
available and an unspecified spinning thread shall acquire the lock.
The results are undefined if this function is called with an uninitialized
thread spin lock.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the pthread_spin_unlock() function
shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be
returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The pthread_spin_unlock() function may fail if:
- EINVAL
-
An invalid argument was specified.
- EPERM
-
The calling thread does not hold the lock.
This function shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
The pthread_spin_unlock() function is part of the Spin Locks
option and need not be provided on all implementations.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
