slock(9s)							     slock(9s)

NAME
       slock - General: Contains simple lock-specific information

SYNOPSIS
       The  slock  data	 structure  is	an opaque data structure; that is, its
       associated members are referenced and manipulated by the operating sys‐
       tem and not by the user of the simple lock method. Therefore, this ref‐
       erence page omits a description of the slock data  structure's  associ‐
       ated members.

DESCRIPTION
       The  slock  data	 structure is the simple spin lock structure that con‐
       tains simple lock-specific information. The user	 of  the  simple  lock
       method  declares	 a  slock  data	 structure  by	calling	 the decl_sim‐
       ple_lock_data  routine.	In  subsequent	calls  to  simple_lock,	  sim‐
       ple_lock_init,  simple_lock_try,	 and  simple_unlock, the caller passes
       the address of the previously declared slock data structure.

NOTES
       The header file <lock.h>	 shows	typedef	 statements  that  assign  the
       alternate  name	simple_lock_data_t  for the simple spin lock structure
       and simple_lock_t for a pointer to the simple spin lock structure.
