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
pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling,
pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling
--- get and set the prioceiling attribute of the mutex attributes object
(REALTIME THREADS)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling(const pthread_mutexattr_t
*restrict attr, int *restrict prioceiling);
int pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling(pthread_mutexattr_t *attr,
int prioceiling);
DESCRIPTION
The
pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling()
and
pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling()
functions, respectively, shall get and set the priority ceiling
attribute of a mutex attributes object pointed to by
attr
which was previously created by the function
pthread_mutexattr_init().
The
prioceiling
attribute contains the priority ceiling of initialized mutexes. The
values of
prioceiling
are within the maximum range of priorities defined by SCHED_FIFO.
The
prioceiling
attribute defines the priority ceiling of initialized mutexes, which is
the minimum priority level at which the critical section guarded by the
mutex is executed. In order to avoid priority inversion, the priority
ceiling of the mutex shall be set to a priority higher than or equal to
the highest priority of all the threads that may lock that mutex. The
values of
prioceiling
are within the maximum range of priorities defined under the SCHED_FIFO
scheduling policy.
The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the
attr
argument to
pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling()
or
pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling()
does not refer to an initialized mutex attributes object.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the
pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling()
and
pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling()
functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be
returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
These functions may fail if:
- EINVAL
-
The value specified by
prioceiling
is invalid.
- EPERM
-
The caller does not have the privilege to perform the operation.
These functions shall not return an error code of
[EINTR].
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
If an implementation detects that the value specified by the
attr
argument to
pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling()
or
pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling()
does not refer to an initialized mutex attributes object, it is
recommended that the function should fail and report an
[EINVAL]
error.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
