This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock - lock a read-write lock for reading
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
#include <time.h>
int pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock(pthread_rwlock_t *restrict rwlock,
const struct timespec *restrict abs_timeout);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock() function shall apply a read
lock to the read-write lock referenced by rwlock as
in the pthread_rwlock_rdlock() function. However, if the lock
cannot
be acquired without waiting for other threads to unlock the lock,
this wait shall be terminated when the specified timeout expires.
The timeout shall expire when the absolute time specified by abs_timeout
passes, as measured by the clock on which timeouts
are based (that is, when the value of that clock equals or exceeds
abs_timeout), or if the absolute time specified by
abs_timeout has already been passed at the time of the call.
If the Timers option is supported, the timeout shall be based on the
CLOCK_REALTIME clock. If the Timers option is not supported, the
timeout shall be based on the system clock as returned by the
time() function. The resolution of the timeout shall be the
resolution of the clock on
which it is based. The timespec data type is defined in the
<time.h>
header. Under no circumstances shall the function fail with a timeout
if the lock can be acquired immediately. The validity of the
abs_timeout parameter need not be checked if the lock can be
immediately acquired.
If a signal that causes a signal handler to be executed is delivered
to a thread blocked on a read-write lock via a call to
pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock(), upon return from the signal handler
the thread shall resume waiting for the lock as if it was
not interrupted.
The calling thread may deadlock if at the time the call is made it
holds a write lock on rwlock. The results are
undefined if this function is called with an uninitialized read-write
lock.
RETURN VALUE
The pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock() function shall return zero
if the lock for reading on the read-write lock object
referenced by rwlock is acquired. Otherwise, an error number
shall be returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock() function shall fail if:
- ETIMEDOUT
-
The lock could not be acquired before the specified timeout expired.
The pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock() function may fail if:
- EAGAIN
-
The read lock could not be acquired because the maximum number of
read locks for lock would be exceeded.
- EDEADLK
-
The calling thread already holds a write lock on rwlock.
- EINVAL
-
The value specified by rwlock does not refer to an initialized
read-write lock object, or the abs_timeout
nanosecond value is less than zero or greater than or equal to 1000
million.
This function shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
Applications using this function may be subject to priority inversion,
as discussed in the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 3.285, Priority Inversion.
The pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock() function is part of the Threads
and Timeouts options and need not be provided on all
implementations.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
