pthread_spin_unlock(3C) Standard C Library Functions pthread_spin_unlock(3C)NAMEpthread_spin_unlock - unlock a spin lock object
SYNOPSIS
cc -mt [ flag... ] file... [ library... ]
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_spin_unlock(pthread_spinlock_t *lock);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_spin_unlock() function releases the spin lock referenced by
lock which was locked with the pthread_spin_lock(3C) or
pthread_spin_trylock(3C) functions. The results are undefined if the
lock is not held by the calling thread. If there are threads spinning
on the lock when pthread_spin_unlock() is called, the lock becomes
available and an unspecified spinning thread acquires the lock.
The results are undefined if this function is called with an uninitial‐
ized thread spin lock.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the pthread_spin_unlock() function returns
0. Otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The pthread_spin_unlock() function will fail if:
EINVAL An invalid argument was specified.
EPERM The calling thread does not hold the lock.
