  NAME

      pthread_cond_signal - Wakes one thread that is waiting on a
                            condition variable

  SYNOPSIS

      #include <pthread.h>

      int pthread_cond_signal(pthread_cond_t *cond);

  PARAMETERS

      cond                Condition variable signaled.

  DESCRIPTION

  The pthread_cond_signal() routine wakes one thread waiting on a condi-
  tion variable. Calling this routine implies that data guarded by the
  associated mutex has changed so that it is possible for a single waiting
  thread to proceed. Call this routine when any thread waiting on the
  specified condition variable might find its predicate true, but only one
  thread needs to proceed.

  The scheduling policy determines which thread is awakened. For policies
  SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR a blocked thread is chosen in priority order.

  Call this routine when the associated mutex is either locked or
  unlocked.

  RETURN VALUES

  If the function fails, errno may be set to one of the following values:

    Return   Error      Description
    ___________________________________________________________
     0                  Successful completion.

    -1      [EINVAL]    The value specified by cond is invalid.
