<h2>pthread_lock_global_np()--Lock Global Mutex</h2>
<div class="box" style="width: 50%;">
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Syntax:
<pre>
#include &lt;pthread.h&gt;
int pthread_lock_global_np(void);
</pre>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Program Name: QP0WTCBH<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Default Public Authority: *USE<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>

</div>
<p>The <strong>pthread_lock_global_np</strong>() function locks a global mutex
provided by the pthreads run-time. The global mutex is a recursive mutex with a
name of "QP0W_GLOBAL_MTX". The global mutex is not currently used by the
pthreads run-time to serialize access to any system resources, and is provided
for application use only.</p>
<p>The maximum number of recursive locks by the owning thread is 32,767. After
which, attempts to lock the mutex will return the <strong>ERECURSE</strong>
error.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This function is not portable</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>None.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<p>None.</p>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>0</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_lock_global_np</strong>() was successful.</dd>
<dt><strong>value</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_lock_global_np</strong>() was not successful.
<em>value</em> is set to indicate the error condition.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>pthread_lock_global_np</strong>() was not successful, the error
condition returned usually indicates one of the following errors. Under some
conditions, the value returned could indicate an error other than those listed
here.</p>
<dl>
<dt><em>[EINVAL]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>The value specified for the argument is not correct.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[ERECURSE]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>The recursive mutex cannot be recursively locked again.</p>
</dd>
</dl>

/*
This example shows the corruption that can result if no
serialization is done and also shows the use of
pthread_lock_global_np(). Call this test with no parameters
to use pthread_lock_gloabl_np() to protect the critical data,
between more than one (possibly unrelated) functions.
Use 1 or more parameters to skip locking and
show data corruption that occurs without locking.
