</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc2" NAME="sect2">Description</A></H2>
<P>The <B>pthread_rwlock_destroy</B> function shall destroy the
read-write lock object referenced by <I>rwlock</I> and release any
resources used by the lock. The effect of subsequent use of the lock
is undefined until the lock is reinitialized by another call to
<B>pthread_rwlock_init</B>. An implementation may cause
<B>pthread_rwlock_destroy</B> to set the object referenced by <I>rwlock</I>
to an invalid value. Results are undefined if <B>pthread_rwlock_destroy</B>
is called when any thread holds <I>rwlock</I>. Attempting to destroy
an uninitialized read-write lock results in undefined behavior.
</P>
<P>The <B>pthread_rwlock_init</B> function shall allocate any
resources required to use the read-write lock referenced by <I>rwlock</I>
and initializes the lock to an unlocked state with attributes
referenced by <I>attr</I>. If <I>attr</I> is NULL, the default
read-write lock attributes shall be used; the effect is the same as
passing the address of a default read-write lock attributes object.
Once initialized, the lock can be used any number of times without
being reinitialized. Results are undefined if <B>pthread_rwlock_init</B>
is called specifying an already initialized read-write lock. Results
are undefined if a read-write lock is used without first being
initialized.
</P>
<P>If the <B>pthread_rwlock_init</B> function fails, <I>rwlock</I>
shall not be initialized and the contents of <I>rwlock</I> are
undefined.
</P>
<P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> supports statically initialized <I>rwlock</I>
objects using <B>PTHREAD_RWLOCK_INITIALIZER</B>. <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">
An application should still call <B>pthread_rwlock_destroy</B> at
some point to ensure that any resources consumed by the read/write
lock are released.</SPAN></P>
<P>Only the object referenced by <I>rwlock</I> may be used for
performing synchronization. The result of referring to copies of that
object in calls to <B>pthread_rwlock_destroy</B> ,
<B>pthread_rwlock_rdlock</B> , <B>pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock</B> ,
<B>pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock</B> , <B>pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock</B> ,
<B>pthread_rwlock_trywrlock</B> , <B>pthread_rwlock_unlock</B> , or
<B>pthread_rwlock_wrlock</B> is undefined.
</P>
<P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> defines <B>_POSIX_READER_WRITER_LOCKS</B> in
pthread.h as 200112L to indicate that the reader/writer routines are
implemented and may be used.</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc3" NAME="sect3">Return Value</A></H2>
<P>If successful, the <B>pthread_rwlock_destroy</B> and
<B>pthread_rwlock_init</B> functions shall return zero; otherwise, an
error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
</P>
<P>The [EBUSY] and [EINVAL] error checks, if implemented, act as if
they were performed immediately at the beginning of processing for
the function and caused an error return prior to modifying the state
of the read-write lock specified by <I>rwlock</I>.
</P>
<H2><A HREF="#toc4" NAME="sect4">Errors</A></H2>
