PTHREAD_MUTEX_TRYLOCK(3) BSD Library Functions Manual PTHREAD_MUTEX_TRYLOCK(3)

NAME
     pthread_mutex_trylock -- attempt to lock a	mutex without blocking

LIBRARY
     POSIX Threads Library (libpthread,	-lpthread)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pthread.h>

     int
     pthread_mutex_trylock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex);

DESCRIPTION
     The pthread_mutex_trylock() function locks	mutex.	If the mutex is	al-
     ready locked, pthread_mutex_trylock() will	not block waiting for the mu-
     tex, but will return an error condition.

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

ERRORS
     The pthread_mutex_trylock() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		 The value specified by	mutex is invalid.

     [EBUSY]		 Mutex is already locked.

     [EOWNERDEAD]	 The argument mutex points to a	robust mutex and the
			 process containing the	previous owning	thread termi-
			 nated while holding the mutex lock.  The lock was
			 granted to the	caller and it is up to the new owner
			 to make the state consistent.

     [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_lock(3), pthread_mutex_unlock(3)

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