+<H2><A HREF="#toc2" NAME="sect2">Description</A></H2>
+<P>The <B>pthread_barrier_wait</B> function shall synchronize
+participating threads at the barrier referenced by <I>barrier</I>.
+The calling thread shall block until the required number of threads
+have called <B>pthread_barrier_wait</B> specifying the barrier.
+</P>
+<P>When the required number of threads have called
+<B>pthread_barrier_wait</B> specifying the barrier, the constant
+<B>PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD</B> shall be returned to one
+unspecified thread and zero shall be returned to each of the
+remaining threads. At this point, the barrier shall be reset to the
+state it had as a result of the most recent <A HREF="pthread_barrier_init.html"><B>pthread_barrier_init</B>(3)</A>
+function that referenced it.
+</P>
+<P>The constant <B>PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD</B> is defined in
+<I>&lt;pthread.h&gt;</I> and its value shall be distinct from any
+other value returned by <B>pthread_barrier_wait</B> .
+</P>
+<P>The results are undefined if this function is called with an
+uninitialized barrier.
+</P>
+<P>If a signal is delivered to a thread blocked on a barrier, upon
+return from the signal handler the thread shall resume waiting at the
+barrier if the barrier wait has not completed (that is, if the
+required number of threads have not arrived at the barrier during the
+execution of the signal handler); otherwise, the thread shall
+continue as normal from the completed barrier wait. Until the thread
+in the signal handler returns from it, it is unspecified whether
+other threads may proceed past the barrier once they have all reached
+it.
+</P>
+<P>A thread that has blocked on a barrier shall not prevent any
+unblocked thread that is eligible to use the same processing
+resources from eventually making forward progress in its execution.
+Eligibility for processing resources shall be determined by the
+scheduling policy.
+</P>
+<H2><A HREF="#toc3" NAME="sect3">Return Value</A></H2>
+<P>Upon successful completion, the <B>pthread_barrier_wait</B>
+function shall return <B>PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD</B> for a
+single (arbitrary) thread synchronized at the barrier and zero for
+each of the other threads. Otherwise, an error number shall be
+returned to indicate the error.
+</P>
