slock

slock(9s)																 slock(9s)

NAME

       slock - General: Contains simple lock-specific information

SYNOPSIS

       The  slock data structure is an opaque data structure; that is, its associated members are referenced and manipulated by the operating sys-
       tem and not by the user of the simple lock method. Therefore, this reference page omits a description of the slock data structure's associ-
       ated members.

DESCRIPTION

       The  slock  data  structure  is	the simple spin lock structure that contains simple lock-specific information. The user of the simple lock
       method declares a slock data structure by calling the decl_simple_lock_data routine. In subsequent calls to simple_lock,  simple_lock_init,
       simple_lock_try, and simple_unlock, the caller passes the address of the previously declared slock data structure.

NOTES

       The  header file <lock.h> shows typedef statements that assign the alternate name simple_lock_data_t for the simple spin lock structure and
       simple_lock_t for a pointer to the simple spin lock structure.
