pthread_rwlock_getname_np()--Get Name of Read/Write Lock

 #include <pthread.h>
 int pthread_rwlock_getname_np(pthread_rwlock_t *rwlock,
                               char *name);

The pthread_rwlock_getname_np() function retrieves the name of with the read/write lock specified by rwlock. The buffer specified by name must be at least 16 characters in length. The returned read/write lock name will be null terminated in the output buffer.

By default, each pthread_rwlock_t does not have a name associated with it.

Note: This function is not portable.

Parameters

rwlock

(Input) The address of the read/write lock object

name

(Output) Address of 16 byte buffer to receive the name

Authorities and Locks

Return Value

0

pthread_rwlock_getname_np() was successful.

value

pthread_rwlock_getname_np() was not successful. value is set to indicate the error condition.

Error Conditions

If pthread_rwlock_getname_np() was not successful, the error condition returned usually indicates one of the following errors. Under some conditions, the value returned could indicate an error other than those listed here.
