_LWP_COND_SIGNAL(2)_LWP_COND_SIGNAL(2)NAME
_lwp_cond_signal, _lwp_cond_broadcast - signal a condition variable
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/lwp.h>
int _lwp_cond_signal(lwp_cond_t *cvp);
int _lwp_cond_broadcast(lwp_cond_t *cvp);
DESCRIPTION
The _lwp_cond_signal() function unblocks one LWP that is blocked on the
LWP condition variable pointed to by cvp.
The _lwp_cond_broadcast() function unblocks all LWPs that are blocked
on the LWP condition variable pointed to by cvp.
If no LWPs are blocked on the LWP condition variable, then
_lwp_cond_signal() and _lwp_cond_broadcast() have no effect.
Both functions should be called under the protection of the same LWP
mutex lock that is used with the LWP condition variable being sig‐
naled. Otherwise, the condition variable may be signalled between the
test of the associated condition and blocking in _lwp_cond_wait(). This
can cause an infinite wait.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. A non-zero value indicates
an error.
ERRORS
The _lwp_cond_signal() and _lwp_cond_broadcast() functions will fail
if:
EINVAL
The cvp argument points to an invalid LWP condition variable.
EFAULT
The cvp argument points to an invalid address.
