37104ff764SMike Makonnen.Sh DESCRIPTION
38104ff764SMike MakonnenThis function acquires a write lock on the read-write lock
39104ff764SMike Makonnen.Fa rwlock .
40104ff764SMike MakonnenHowever, if the lock cannot be
41104ff764SMike Makonnenacquired without waiting for another thread to
42104ff764SMike Makonnenunlock the lock,
43104ff764SMike Makonnenthis wait shall be terminated when
44104ff764SMike Makonnen.Fa abs_timeout
45104ff764SMike Makonnenexpires.
46104ff764SMike Makonnen.Pp
47104ff764SMike MakonnenIf the thread should be interrupted by a signal,
48104ff764SMike Makonnenthe
49ef13db44SRuslan Ermilov.Fn pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock
50104ff764SMike Makonnenfunction will be automatically restarted after the thread returns from
51104ff764SMike Makonnenthe signal handler.
52104ff764SMike Makonnen.Pp
53104ff764SMike MakonnenThe calling thread may deadlock if
54104ff764SMike Makonnenat the time the call is made it holds
55104ff764SMike Makonnen.Fa rwlock .
56104ff764SMike MakonnenThe results are undefined if this function is called with
57104ff764SMike Makonnenan uninitialized read-write lock.
58104ff764SMike Makonnen.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
59104ff764SMike MakonnenTo prevent writer starvation, writers are favored over readers.
