pthread_spin_destroy()

Destroy a thread spinlock

Synopsis:

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_spin_destroy( 
       pthread_spinlock_t * spinner );

Library:

libc

Description:

The pthread_spin_destroy() function destroys the thread spinlock spinner, releasing its resources.

Using spinner after it's been destroyed is undefined until it's been re-initialized by another call to pthread_spin_init().

Calling pthread_spin_destroy() gives undefined results when a thread has spinner locked or when spinner isn't initialized.

Returns:

EOK

Success.

EBUSY

The thread spinlock spinner is in use by another thread and can't be destroyed.

EINVAL

Invalid pthread_spinlock_t object spinner.
