pthread_mutex_consistent(3)Library Functions Manualpthread_mutex_consistent(3)
NAME
pthread_mutex_consistent - make a robust mutex consistent
LIBRARY
POSIX threads library (libpthread, -lpthread)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_mutex_consistent(pthread_mutex_t *mutex);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
pthread_mutex_consistent():
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
DESCRIPTION
This function makes a robust mutex consistent if it is in an inconsis-
tent state. A mutex can be left in an inconsistent state if its owner
terminates while holding the mutex, in which case the next owner who
acquires the mutex will succeed and be notified by a return value of
EOWNERDEAD from a call to pthread_mutex_lock().
RETURN VALUE
On success, pthread_mutex_consistent() returns 0. Otherwise, it re-
turns a positive error number to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EINVAL The mutex is either not robust or is not in an inconsistent
state.
VERSIONS
pthread_mutex_consistent() was added in glibc 2.12.
STANDARDS
POSIX.1-2008.
NOTES
pthread_mutex_consistent() simply informs the implementation that the
state (shared data) guarded by the mutex has been restored to a consis-
tent state and that normal operations can now be performed with the mu-
tex. It is the application's responsibility to ensure that the shared
data has been restored to a consistent state before calling pthread_mu-
tex_consistent().
Before the addition of pthread_mutex_consistent() to POSIX, glibc de-
fined the following equivalent nonstandard function if _GNU_SOURCE was
defined:
[[deprecated]]
int pthread_mutex_consistent_np(const pthread_mutex_t *mutex);
This GNU-specific API, which first appeared in glibc 2.4, is nowadays
obsolete and should not be used in new programs; since glibc 2.34 it
has been marked as deprecated.
