  28. <P>The <B>pthread_rwlock_trywrlock</B> function shall apply a write
  29. lock like the <B>pthread_rwlock_wrlock</B> function, with the
  30. exception that the function shall fail if any thread currently holds
  31. <I>rwlock</I> (for reading or writing).
  32. </P>
  33. <P>The <B>pthread_rwlock_wrlock</B> function shall apply a write lock
  34. to the read-write lock referenced by <I>rwlock</I>. The calling
  35. thread acquires the write lock if no other thread (reader or writer)
  36. holds the read-write lock <I>rwlock</I>. Otherwise, the thread shall
  37. block until it can acquire the lock. The calling thread may deadlock
  38. if at the time the call is made it holds the read-write lock (whether
  39. a read or write lock).
  40. </P>
  41. <P><B>Pthreads-win32</B> does not prefer either writers or readers in
  42. acquiring the lock – all threads enter a single prioritised FIFO
  43. queue. While this may not be optimally efficient for some
  44. applications, it does ensure that one type does not starve the other.</P>
  45. <P>Results are undefined if any of these functions are called with an
  46. uninitialized read-write lock.
  47. </P>
  48. <P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> defines <B>_POSIX_READER_WRITER_LOCKS</B> in
  49. pthread.h as 200112L to indicate that the reader/writer routines are
  50. implemented and may be used.</P>

  53. the lock for writing on the read-write lock object referenced by
  54. <I>rwlock</I> is acquired. Otherwise, an error number shall be
  55. returned to indicate the error.
  56. </P>
  57. <P>If successful, the <B>pthread_rwlock_wrlock</B> function shall
  58. return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate
  59. the error.
