SV_BROADCAST(D3)					      SV_BROADCAST(D3)

NAME
     SV_BROADCAST - wake up all processes sleeping on a synchronization
     variable

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/ksynch.h>
     #include <sys/ddi.h>
     int SV_BROADCAST(sv_t *svp);

   Arguments
     svp       Pointer to the synchronization variable to be broadcast
	       signaled.

DESCRIPTION
     If one or more processes are blocked on the synchronization variable
     specified by svp, SV_BROADCAST wakes up all of the blocked processes.
     Note that synchronization variables are stateless -- calls to
     SV_BROADCAST only affect processes currently blocked on the
     synchronization variable.

   Return Values
     Returns the number of processes that were unblocked by the call to
     SV_BROADCAST.

   Level
     Base or Interrupt.

   Synchronization Constraints
     Does not sleep.

     Driver-defined basic locks and read/write locks may be held across calls
     to this function.
