MUTEX_OWNED - query whether a mutual exclusion lock is available
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.15. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME MUTEX_OWNED - query whether a mutual exclusion lock is available SYNOPSIS #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/ksynch.h> #include <sys/ddi.h> boolean_t MUTEX_OWNED(mutex_t *lockp); Arguments lockp Pointer to the mutual exclusion lock to be queried. DESCRIPTION MUTEX_OWNED returns an indication of whether the mutual exclusion lock specified by lockp is currently available. Return Values MUTEX_OWNED returns TRUE (a non-zero value) if the lock was available or FALSE (zero) if the lock was not available. USAGE The state of the lock may change and the value returned may no longer be valid by the time the caller sees it. The caller is expected to understand that this is ``stale data'' and is either using it as a heuristic or has arranged for the return value to be meaningful by other means. Level Base or Interrupt. Synchronization Constraints Does not sleep. Driver-defined basic locks, read/write locks, and sleep locks may be held across calls to this function.
