NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       slock - General: Contains simple lock-specific information

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The slock data structure is an opaque data structure; that
       is,  its associated members are referenced and manipulated
       by the operating system and not by the user of the  simple
       lock  method.  Therefore,  this  reference  page  omits  a
       description of the slock data structure's associated  members.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The slock data structure is the simple spin lock structure
       that contains simple lock-specific information.  The  user
       of  the simple lock method declares a slock data structure
       by calling the decl_simple_lock_data  routine.  In  subsequent
   calls   to   simple_lock,  simple_lock_init,  simple_lock_try,
 and simple_unlock,  the  caller  passes  the
       address of the previously declared slock data structure.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  header  file  <lock.h>  shows typedef statements that
       assign the alternate name simple_lock_data_t for the  simple
 spin lock structure and simple_lock_t for a pointer to
       the simple spin lock structure.
