<h4><a name="tag_03_575_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>pthread_spin_lock</i>() function shall lock the spin lock referenced by <i>lock</i>. The calling thread shall acquire the
lock if it is not held by another thread. Otherwise, the thread shall spin (that is, shall not return from the
<i>pthread_spin_lock</i>() call) until the lock becomes available. The results are undefined if the calling thread holds the lock
at the time the call is made. The <i>pthread_spin_trylock</i>() function shall lock the spin lock referenced by <i>lock</i> if it
is not held by any thread. Otherwise, the function shall fail.</p>
<p>The results are undefined if any of these functions is called with an uninitialized spin lock.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_575_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Upon successful completion, these functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the
error.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_575_05"></a>ERRORS</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>These functions may fail if:</p>
<dl compact>
<dt>[EINVAL]</dt>
<dd>The value specified by <i>lock</i> does not refer to an initialized spin lock object.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The <i>pthread_spin_lock</i>() function may fail if:</p>
<dl compact>
<dt>[EDEADLK]</dt>
<dd>The calling thread already holds the lock.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The <i>pthread_spin_trylock</i>() function shall fail if:</p>
<dl compact>
<dt>[EBUSY]</dt>
<dd>A thread currently holds the lock.</dd>
</dl>
<p>These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].</p>

<p>None.</p>

<h4><a name="tag_03_575_07"></a>APPLICATION USAGE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Applications using this function may be subject to priority inversion, as discussed in the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE&nbsp;Std&nbsp;1003.1-2001, <a href="../basedefs/xbd_chap03.html#tag_03_285">Section 3.285, Priority Inversion</a>.</p>
<p>The <i>pthread_spin_lock</i>() and <i>pthread_spin_trylock</i>() functions are part of the Spin Locks option and need not be
provided on all implementations.</p>
