tis_mutex_lock(3)tis_mutex_lock(3)NAMEtis_mutex_lock - Locks an unlocked mutex
SYNOPSIS
#include <tis.h>
int tis_mutex_lock(
pthread_mutex_t *mutex );
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)
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
