Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
Description:
The pthread_sleepon_lock() function calls pthread_mutex_lock() on a mutex associated with the pthread_sleepon* class of functions. You should call this function before testing conditions that determine whether you need to call pthread_sleepon_wait(), pthread_sleepon_signal(), or pthread_sleepon_broadcast(). This mutex prevents other threads from changing the conditions between the time you examine and act upon them.
This function may be implemented as a simple macro.
Returns:
- EOK
- Success.
- EDEADLK
- The calling thread already owns the controlling mutex.
