SYNOPSIS
.In pthread.h int pthread_rwlock_init "pthread_rwlock_t *lock" "const pthread_rwlockattr_t *attr"
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_rwlock_init function is used to initialize a read/write lock, with attributes specified by attr. If attr is NULL, the default read/write lock attributes are used. The results of calling pthread_rwlock_init with an already initialized lock are undefined.
If successful, the pthread_rwlock_init function will return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The pthread_rwlock_init function will fail if: [EAGAIN] | | The system lacked the necessary resources (other than memory) to initialize the lock. | [ENOMEM] | | Insufficient memory exists to initialize the lock. | [EPERM] | | The caller does not have sufficient privilege to perform the operation. | |
The pthread_rwlock_init function may fail if: [EBUSY] | | The system has detected an attempt to re-initialize the object referenced by lock, a previously initialized but not yet destroyed read/write lock. | [EINVAL] | | The value specified by attr is invalid. | |
