PTHREAD_MUTEX_LOCK(3)	 BSD Library Functions Manual	 PTHREAD_MUTEX_LOCK(3)

NAME
     pthread_mutex_lock	-- lock	a mutex

LIBRARY
     POSIX Threads Library (libpthread,	-lpthread)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pthread.h>

     int
     pthread_mutex_lock(pthread_mutex_t	*mutex);

DESCRIPTION
     The pthread_mutex_lock() function locks mutex.  If	the mutex is already
     locked, the calling thread	will block until the mutex becomes available.

RETURN VALUES
     If	successful, pthread_mutex_lock() will return zero, otherwise an	error
     number will be returned to	indicate the error.

ERRORS
     The pthread_mutex_lock() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		 The value specified by	mutex is invalid.

     [EDEADLK]		 A deadlock would occur	if the thread blocked waiting
			 for mutex.

     [EOWNERDEAD]	 The argument mutex points to a	robust mutex and the
			 previous owning thread	terminated while holding the
			 mutex lock.  The lock was granted to the caller and
			 it is up to the new owner to make the state consis-
			 tent.

     [ENOTRECOVERABLE]	 The state protected by	the mutex is not recoverable.

SEE ALSO
     pthread_mutex_consistent(3), pthread_mutex_destroy(3),
     pthread_mutex_init(3), pthread_mutex_trylock(3), pthread_mutex_unlock(3)

STANDARDS
     The pthread_mutex_lock() function conforms	to ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996
     ("POSIX.1").
