<p>The <strong>pthread_rwlock_unlock</strong>() function unlocks a shared read or exclusive write lock held by the calling thread.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A thread should call <strong>pthread_rwlock_unlock</strong>() once for each time that the thread successfully called
|
|
<strong>pthread_rwlock_rdlock</strong>(), <strong>pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock</strong>(), <strong>pthread_rwlock_trywrlock</strong>(),
|
|
<strong>pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock_np</strong>(), or <strong>pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock_np</strong>() to acquire a shared read or
|
|
exclusive write lock. For example, if a thread holds 4 shared read locks on a read/write lock object, the thread must call
|
|
<strong>pthread_rwlock_unlock</strong>() 4 times before the read/write lock becomes completely unlocked.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If a thread holds <strong>both</strong> shared read <strong>and</strong> exclusive write locks for the specified read/write
|
|
lock object, the exclusive write locks are unlocked first. If more than one outstanding exclusive write lock was held by the
|
|
thread, a matching number of successful calls to <strong>pthread_rwlock_unlock</strong>() must be done before all write locks are
|
|
unlocked. When all write locks are unlocked, subsequent calls to <strong>pthread_rwlock_unlock</strong>() unlock the shared read
|
|
locks.</p>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>For successful completion, either a shared read or exclusive write lock must be held on the read/write lock before you call
|
|
<strong>pthread_rwlock_unlock</strong>().</p>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h3>Parameters</h3>
|

|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>value</strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd><strong>pthread_rwlock_unlock</strong>() was not successful. <em>value</em> is set to indicate the error condition.</dd>

<dt><em>[EPERM]</em></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd><p>A shared read or exclusive write lock was not held by the calling thread and could not be unlocked.</p></dd>
