_lwp_cond_broadcast(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  signaled. Otherwise, the condition  variable
     may  be  signalled between the test of the associated condi-
     tion 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.
