.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Condition variables are used in conjunction with mutexes to wait for conditions
|
|
to occur.
|
|
Condition variables are created with
|
|
.Fn cv_init ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Fa cvp
|
|
is a pointer to space for a
|
|
.Vt struct cv ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa desc
|
|
is a pointer to a null-terminated character string that describes the condition
|
|
variable.
|
|
Condition variables are destroyed with
|
|
.Fn cv_destroy .
|
|
Threads wait on condition variables by calling
|
|
.Fn cv_wait ,
|
|
.Fn cv_wait_sig ,
|
|
.Fn cv_timedwait ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn cv_timedwait_sig .
|
|
Threads unblock waiters by calling
|
|
.Fn cv_signal
|
|
to unblock one waiter, or
|
|
.Fn cv_broadcast
|
|
to unblock all waiters.
|
|
.Fn cv_waitq_remove
|
|
removes a waiting thread from a condition variable wait queue, if it is on one.
|
|
.Fn cv_waitq_empty
|
|
reports whether there are any waiters on
|
|
.Fa cvp .
|
|
.Fn cv_wmesg
|
|
returns the description string of
|
|
.Fa cvp ,
|
|
as set by the initial call to
|
|
.Fn cv_init .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A thread must hold
|
|
.Fa mp
|
|
before calling
|
|
.Fn cv_wait ,
|
|
.Fn cv_wait_sig ,
|
|
.Fn cv_timedwait ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn cv_timedwait_sig .
|
|
When a thread waits on a condition,
|
|
.Fa mp
|
|
is atomically released before the thread is blocked, then atomically reacquired
|
|
before the function call returns.
|
|
All waiters must pass the same
|
|
.Fa mp
|
|
in conjunction with
|
|
.Fa cvp .
|
|
A thread must hold
|
|
.Fa mp
|
|
while calling
|
|
.Fn cv_signal
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn cv_broadcast ,
|
|
even though it isn't passed as an argument.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Fn cv_wait ,
|
|
.Fn cv_wait_sig ,
|
|
.Fn cv_timedwait ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn cv_timedwait_sig
|
|
unblock, their calling threads are made runnable.
|
|
.Fn cv_timedwait
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn cv_timedwait_sig
|
|
wait for at most
|
|
.Fa timo
|
|
/
|
|
.Dv HZ
|
|
seconds before being unblocked and returning
|
|
.Er EWOULDBLOCK ;
|
|
otherwise, they return 0.
|
|
.Fn cv_wait_sig
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn cv_timedwait_sig
|
|
return prematurely with a value of
|
|
.Er EINTR
|
|
or
|
|
.Er ERESTART
|
|
if a signal is caught, or 0 if signaled via
|
|
.Fn cv_signal
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn cv_broadcast .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful,
|
|
.Fn cv_wait_sig ,
|
|
.Fn cv_timedwait ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn cv_timedwait_sig
|
|
return 0.
|
|
Otherwise, a non-zero error code is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn cv_waitq_empty
|
|
returns non-zero if there are no threads on the wait queue; 0 otherwise.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn cv_wmesg
|
|
returns the description string that was passed to
|
|
.Fn cv_init .
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn cv_wait_sig
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn cv_timedwait_sig
