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").
