- <P>pthread_rwlock_trywrlock, pthread_rwlock_wrlock - lock a

- </P>
- <H2><A HREF="#toc2" NAME="sect2">Description</A></H2>
- <P>The <B>pthread_rwlock_trywrlock</B> function shall apply a write
- lock like the <B>pthread_rwlock_wrlock</B> function, with the
- exception that the function shall fail if any thread currently holds
- <I>rwlock</I> (for reading or writing).
- </P>
- <P>The <B>pthread_rwlock_wrlock</B> function shall apply a write lock
- to the read-write lock referenced by <I>rwlock</I>. The calling
- thread acquires the write lock if no other thread (reader or writer)
- holds the read-write lock <I>rwlock</I>. Otherwise, the thread shall
- block until it can acquire the lock. The calling thread may deadlock
- if at the time the call is made it holds the read-write lock (whether
- a read or write lock).
- </P>
- <P><B>Pthreads-win32</B> does not prefer either writers or readers in
- acquiring the lock – all threads enter a single prioritised FIFO
- queue. While this may not be optimally efficient for some
- applications, it does ensure that one type does not starve the other.</P>
- <P>Results are undefined if any of these functions are called with an
- uninitialized read-write lock.
- </P>
- <P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> defines <B>_POSIX_READER_WRITER_LOCKS</B> in
- pthread.h as 200112L to indicate that the reader/writer routines are
- implemented and may be used.</P>
- <H2><A HREF="#toc3" NAME="sect3">Return Value</A></H2>
- <P>The <B>pthread_rwlock_trywrlock</B> function shall return zero if
- the lock for writing on the read-write lock object referenced by
- <I>rwlock</I> is acquired. Otherwise, an error number shall be
- returned to indicate the error.
- </P>
- <P>If successful, the <B>pthread_rwlock_wrlock</B> function shall
- return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate
- the error.
- </P>
- <H2><A HREF="#toc4" NAME="sect4">Errors</A></H2>
