PTHREAD_COND_WAIT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual PTHREAD_COND_WAIT(3)NAMEpthread_cond_wait -- wait on a condition variableSYNOPSIS#include <pthread.h> int pthread_cond_wait(pthread_cond_t *restrict cond, pthread_mutex_t *restrict mutex);DESCRIPTIONThe pthread_cond_wait() function atomically unlocks the mutex and blocks the current thread on the condition specified by the cond argument. The current thread unblocks only after another thread calls pthread_cond_signal(3) or pthread_cond_broadcast(3) with the same condition vari- able. The mutex must be locked before calling this function, otherwise the behavior is undefined. Before pthread_cond_wait() returns to the calling function, it re-acquires the mutex.RETURN VALUESIf successful, the pthread_cond_wait() function will return zero; otherwise, an error number will be returned to indicate the error.ERRORSpthread_cond_wait() will fail if: [EINVAL] The value specified by cond or the value specified by mutex is invalid.SEE ALSOpthread_cond_broadcast(3), pthread_cond_destroy(3), pthread_cond_init(3), pthread_cond_signal(3), pthread_cond_timedwait(3)STANDARDSpthread_cond_wait() conforms to ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 (``POSIX.1'').
