PTHREAD_MUTEX_GETPRIOCEILINPOSIX Programmer's PTHREAD_MUTEX_GETPRIOCEILING(3P)
PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
pthread_mutex_getprioceiling, pthread_mutex_setprioceiling -- get and
set the priority ceiling of a mutex (REALTIME THREADS)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_mutex_getprioceiling(const pthread_mutex_t *restrict mutex,
int *restrict prioceiling);
int pthread_mutex_setprioceiling(pthread_mutex_t *restrict mutex,
int prioceiling, int *restrict old_ceiling);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_mutex_getprioceiling() function shall return the current
priority ceiling of the mutex.
The pthread_mutex_setprioceiling() function shall attempt to lock the
mutex as if by a call to pthread_mutex_lock(), except that the process
of locking the mutex need not adhere to the priority protect protocol.
On acquiring the mutex it shall change the mutex's priority ceiling and
then release the mutex as if by a call to pthread_mutex_unlock(). When
the change is successful, the previous value of the priority ceiling
shall be returned in old_ceiling.
If the pthread_mutex_setprioceiling() function fails, the mutex prior-
ity ceiling shall not be changed.
RETURN VALUE
If successful, the pthread_mutex_getprioceiling() and
pthread_mutex_setprioceiling() functions shall return zero; otherwise,
an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
These functions shall fail if:
EINVAL The protocol attribute of mutex is PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE.
EPERM The implementation requires appropriate privileges to perform
the operation and the caller does not have appropriate privi-
leges.
The pthread_mutex_setprioceiling() function shall fail if:
EAGAIN The mutex could not be acquired because the maximum number of
recursive locks for mutex has been exceeded.
EDEADLK
The mutex type is PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK and the current
thread already owns the mutex.
EINVAL The mutex was created with the protocol attribute having the
value PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT and the calling thread's priority is
higher than the mutex's current priority ceiling, and the imple-
mentation adheres to the priority protect protocol in the
process of locking the mutex.
ENOTRECOVERABLE
The mutex is a robust mutex and the state protected by the mutex
is not recoverable.
EOWNERDEAD
The mutex is a robust mutex and the process containing the pre-
vious owning thread terminated while holding the mutex lock. The
mutex lock shall be acquired by the calling thread and it is up
to the new owner to make the state consistent (see
pthread_mutex_lock()).
The pthread_mutex_setprioceiling() function may fail if:
EDEADLK
A deadlock condition was detected.
EINVAL The priority requested by prioceiling is out of range.
EOWNERDEAD
The mutex is a robust mutex and the previous owning thread ter-
minated while holding the mutex lock. The mutex lock shall be
acquired by the calling thread and it is up to the new owner to
make the state consistent (see pthread_mutex_lock()).
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
