- <P>The <B>pthread_rwlock_unlock</B> function shall release a lock
- held on the read-write lock object referenced by <I>rwlock</I>.
- Results are undefined if the read-write lock <I>rwlock</I> is not
- held by the calling thread.
- </P>
- <P>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.
- </P>
- <P>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.
- </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
