32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm pthread_mutex_consistent
35.Nd mark state protected by robust mutex as consistent
36.Sh LIBRARY
37.Lb libpthread
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.In pthread.h
40.Ft int
41.Fn pthread_mutex_consistent "pthread_mutex_t *mutex"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43If the process containing the thread owning a robust mutex terminates
44while holding the mutex, the mutex becomes inconsistent and the next thread
45that acquires the mutex lock is notified of the state by the return value
46.Er EOWNERDEAD .
47In this case, the mutex does not become normally usable again until
48the state is marked consistent.
49.Pp
50The
51.Fn pthread_mutex_consistent ,
52when called with the
53.Fa mutex
54argument, which points to the initialized robust mutex in an
55inconsistent state, marks the by mutex as consistent again.
56The consequent unlock of the mutex, by either
57.Fn pthread_mutex_unlock
58or other methods, allows other contenders to lock the mutex.
59.Pp
60If the mutex in the inconsistent state is not marked consistent
61by the call to
62.Fn pthread_mutex_consistent
63before unlock,
64further attempts to lock the
65.Fa mutex
66result in the
67.Er ENOTRECOVERABLE
68condition reported by the locking functions.
69.Sh RETURN VALUES
70If successful,
71.Fn pthread_mutex_consistent
72will return zero, otherwise an error number will be returned to
73indicate the error.
74.Sh ERRORS
75The
76.Fn pthread_mutex_lock
77function will fail if:
78.Bl -tag -width Er
79.It Bq Er EINVAL
80The mutex pointed to by the
81.Fa mutex
82argument is not robust, or is not in the inconsistent state.
