PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       pthread_mutex_getprioceiling, pthread_mutex_setprioceiling — get and
       set the priority ceiling of a mutex (REALTIME THREADS)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #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         top

       The pthread_mutex_getprioceiling() function shall return the current
       priority ceiling of the mutex.
       The pthread_mutex_setprioceiling() function shall attempt to lock the
       mutex as if by a call to pthread_mutex_lock(), except that the
       process of locking the mutex need not adhere to the priority protect
       protocol. On acquiring the mutex it shall change the mutex's priority
       ceiling and then release the mutex as if by a call to
       pthread_mutex_unlock().  When the change is successful, the previous
       value of the priority ceiling shall be returned in old_ceiling.
       If the pthread_mutex_setprioceiling() function fails, the mutex
       priority ceiling shall not be changed.

RETURN VALUE         top

       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         top

       These functions shall fail if:
       EINVAL The protocol attribute of mutex is PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE.
       EPERM  The implementation requires appropriate privileges to perform
              the operation and the caller does not have appropriate
              privileges.
       The pthread_mutex_setprioceiling() function shall fail if:
       EAGAIN The mutex could not be acquired because the maximum number of
              recursive locks for mutex has been exceeded.
       EDEADLK
              The mutex type is PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK and the current
              thread already owns the mutex.
       EINVAL The mutex was created with the protocol attribute having the
              value PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT and the calling thread's priority
              is higher than the mutex's current priority ceiling, and the
              implementation adheres to the priority protect protocol in the
              process of locking the mutex.
       ENOTRECOVERABLE
              The mutex is a robust mutex and the state protected by the
              mutex is not recoverable.
       EOWNERDEAD
              The mutex is a robust mutex and the process containing the
              previous owning thread terminated while holding the mutex
              lock. The mutex lock shall be acquired by the calling thread
              and it is up to the new owner to make the state consistent
              (see pthread_mutex_lock(3p)).
       The pthread_mutex_setprioceiling() function may fail if:
       EDEADLK
              A deadlock condition was detected.
       EINVAL The priority requested by prioceiling is out of range.
       EOWNERDEAD
              The mutex is a robust mutex and the previous owning thread
              terminated while holding the mutex lock. The mutex lock shall
              be acquired by the calling thread and it is up to the new
              owner to make the state consistent (see
              pthread_mutex_lock(3p)).
       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
