<h4><a name="tag_03_633_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>The <i>sem_post</i>() function shall unlock the semaphore referenced by <i>sem</i> by performing a semaphore unlock operation on
|
||||
that semaphore.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If the semaphore value resulting from this operation is positive, then no threads were blocked waiting for the semaphore to
|
||||
become unlocked; the semaphore value is simply incremented.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If the value of the semaphore resulting from this operation is zero, then one of the threads blocked waiting for the semaphore
|
||||
shall be allowed to return successfully from its call to <a href="../functions/sem_wait.html"><i>sem_wait</i>()</a>. <sup>[<a href=
|
||||
"javascript:open_code('PS')">PS</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]" border="0"> If the Process
|
||||
Scheduling option is supported, the thread to be unblocked shall be chosen in a manner appropriate to the scheduling policies and
|
||||
parameters in effect for the blocked threads. In the case of the schedulers SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR, the highest priority waiting
|
||||
thread shall be unblocked, and if there is more than one highest priority thread blocked waiting for the semaphore, then the
|
||||
highest priority thread that has been waiting the longest shall be unblocked. If the Process Scheduling option is not defined, the
|
||||
choice of a thread to unblock is unspecified. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0"></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('SS')">SS</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]" border="0"> If
|
||||
the Process Sporadic Server option is supported, and the scheduling policy is SCHED_SPORADIC, the semantics are as per SCHED_FIFO
|
||||
above. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0"></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The <i>sem_post</i>() function shall be reentrant with respect to signals and may be invoked from a signal-catching
|
||||
function.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4><a name="tag_03_633_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>If successful, the <i>sem_post</i>() function shall return zero; otherwise, the function shall return -1 and set <i>errno</i> to
|
||||
indicate the error.</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4><a name="tag_03_633_05"></a>ERRORS</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>The <i>sem_post</i>() function shall fail if:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<dl compact>
|
||||
<dt>[EINVAL]</dt>
|
||||
|
||||
<dd>The <i>sem</i> argument does not refer to a valid semaphore.</dd>

<blockquote>

<p>First released in Issue 5. Included for alignment with the POSIX Realtime Extension.</p>
|

</blockquote>
|

|

<h4><a name="tag_03_633_12"></a>Issue 6</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>The <i>sem_post</i>() function is marked as part of the Semaphores option.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The [ENOSYS] error condition has been removed as stubs need not be provided if an implementation does not support the Semaphores
|
||||
option.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The <a href="../functions/sem_timedwait.html"><i>sem_timedwait</i>()</a> function is added to the SEE ALSO section for alignment
|
||||
with IEEE Std 1003.1d-1999.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>SCHED_SPORADIC is added to the list of scheduling policies for which the thread that is to be unblocked is specified for
|
||||
alignment with IEEE Std 1003.1d-1999.</p>
