pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock(3T)

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock(pthread_rwlock_t *rwlock);

pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock(3T) applies a read lock as in pthread_rwlock_rdlock() with the exception that the function fails if any thread holds a write lock on rwlock or there are writers blocked on rwlock. (For Solaris threads, see "rw_tryrdlock(3T)".)

Return Value

pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock() returns zero if the lock for reading on the read-write lock object referenced by rwlock is acquired. Otherwise an error number is returned to indicate the error.

EBUSY

The read-write lock could not be acquired for reading because a writer holds the lock or was blocked on it.
