NAME
       pthread_spin_unlock - unlock a spin lock object

SYNOPSIS
       cc -mt [ flag... ] file... [ library... ]
       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_spin_unlock(pthread_spinlock_t *lock);

DESCRIPTION
       The  pthread_spin_unlock()  function  releases  the  spin  lock	referenced  by	lock  which  was  locked with the pthread_spin_lock(3C) or
       pthread_spin_trylock(3C) 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 acquires the lock.

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

RETURN VALUES
       Upon  successful  completion,  the  pthread_spin_unlock()  function returns 0. Otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the
       error.

ERRORS
       The pthread_spin_unlock() function will fail if:

       EINVAL	 An invalid argument was specified.

       EPERM	 The calling thread does not hold the lock.
