PTHREAD_MUTEX_GETPRIOCEILINPOSIX Programmer's MPTHREAD_MUTEX_GETPRIOCEILING(P)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 either lock the mutex
if it is unlocked, or block until it can successfully lock the mutex,
then it shall change the mutex's priority ceiling and release the
mutex. When the change is successful, the previous value of the prior‐
ity ceiling shall be returned in old_ceiling. The process of locking
the mutex need not adhere to the priority protect protocol.
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
The pthread_mutex_getprioceiling() and pthread_mutex_setprioceiling()
functions may fail if:
EINVAL The priority requested by prioceiling is out of range.
EINVAL The value specified by mutex does not refer to a currently
existing mutex.
EPERM The caller does not have the privilege to perform the operation.
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
