tis_mutex_lock(3)					     Library Functions Manual						 tis_mutex_lock(3)

NAME
       tis_mutex_lock - Locks an unlocked mutex.

LIBRARY
       Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tis.h>

       int   tis_mutex_lock(
			      pthread_mutex_t	*mutex);

STANDARDS
       None

PARAMETERS
       Address of the mutex (passed by reference) to be locked.

DESCRIPTION
       This  routine  locks  the specified mutex mutex.  A deadlock can result if the current owner of a mutex calls this routine in an attempt to
       lock the same mutex a second time.  (DECthreads does not detect or report the deadlock.)

       In a threaded environment, the thread that has locked a mutex becomes its current owner and remains the owner until  the  same  thread  has
       unlocked it.  This routine returns with the mutex in the locked state and with the current thread as the mutex's current owner.

RETURN VALUES
       If  an  error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error.  Possible return values are as follows:
       Successful completion.  The value specified by mutex is invalid.  A deadlock condition is detected.

ERRORS
       None
