PROLOG

       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       pthread_spin_unlock - unlock a spin lock object (ADVANCED REALTIME THREADS)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_spin_unlock(pthread_spinlock_t *lock);

DESCRIPTION

       The pthread_spin_unlock() function shall release the spin lock  referenced  by  lock  which  was  locked  via  the  pthread_spin_lock()	or
       pthread_spin_trylock() 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 shall acquire the lock.

       The results are undefined if this function is called with an uninitialized thread spin lock.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, the pthread_spin_unlock() function shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to  indicate
       the error.

ERRORS

       The pthread_spin_unlock() function may fail if:

       EINVAL An invalid argument was specified.

       EPERM  The calling thread does not hold the lock.

       This function shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       The pthread_spin_unlock() function is part of the Spin Locks option and need not be provided on all implementations.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
