Otherwise, the condition variable may be signalled between the test of the associated condition and blocking in \fB_lwp_cond_wait()\fR. This can cause an infinite wait. .SH RETURN VALUES .sp .LP Upon successful completion, \fB0\fR is returned. A non-zero value indicates an error. .SH ERRORS .sp .LP The \fB_lwp_cond_signal()\fR and \fB_lwp_cond_broadcast()\fR functions will fail if: .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBEINVAL\fR\fR .ad .RS 10n The \fIcvp\fR argument points to an invalid LWP condition variable. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBEFAULT\fR\fR .ad .RS 10n The \fIcvp\fR argument points to an invalid address. .RE .SH SEE ALSO .sp .LP \fB_lwp_cond_wait\fR(2), \fB_lwp_mutex_lock\fR(2)
