PROLOG
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.
NAME
pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock -- lock a read-write lock for writing
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
#include <time.h>
int pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock(pthread_rwlock_t *restrict rwlock,
const struct timespec *restrict abstime);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock() function shall apply a write lock to
the read-write lock referenced by rwlock as in the pthread_rwlock_wr-
lock() function. However, if the lock cannot be acquired without wait-
ing for other threads to unlock the lock, this wait shall be terminated
when the specified timeout expires. The timeout shall expire when the
absolute time specified by abstime passes, as measured by the clock on
which timeouts are based (that is, when the value of that clock equals
or exceeds abstime), or if the absolute time specified by abstime has
already been passed at the time of the call.
The timeout shall be based on the CLOCK_REALTIME clock. The resolution
of the timeout shall be the resolution of the CLOCK_REALTIME clock. The
timespec data type is defined in the <time.h> header. Under no circum-
stances shall the function fail with a timeout if the lock can be ac-
quired immediately. The validity of the abstime parameter need not be
checked if the lock can be immediately acquired.
If a signal that causes a signal handler to be executed is delivered to
a thread blocked on a read-write lock via a call to
pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock(), upon return from the signal handler the
thread shall resume waiting for the lock as if it was not interrupted.
The calling thread may deadlock if at the time the call is made it
holds the read-write lock. The results are undefined if this function
is called with an uninitialized read-write lock.
RETURN VALUE
The pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock() function shall return zero if the lock
for writing on the read-write lock object referenced by rwlock is ac-
quired. Otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
The pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock() function shall fail if:
ETIMEDOUT
The lock could not be acquired before the specified timeout ex-
pired.
The pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock() function may fail if:
EDEADLK
A deadlock condition was detected or the calling thread already
holds the rwlock.
EINVAL The abstime nanosecond value is less than zero or greater than
or equal to 1000 million.
This function shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
Applications using this function may be subject to priority inversion,
as discussed in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2008, Section
3.287, Priority Inversion.
RATIONALE
If an implementation detects that the value specified by the rwlock ar-
gument to pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock() does not refer to an initialized
read-write lock object, it is recommended that the function should fail
and report an [EINVAL] error.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
