PTHREAD_MUTEX_TRYLOCK(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual 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 already locked, pthread_mutex_trylock() will not block waiting for the mutex, but will return an error condition. RETURN VALUES If successful, pthread_mutex_trylock() will return zero, otherwise an error 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 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 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").
