=head1 NAME APR::ThreadRWLock - Perl API for APR thread read/write locks =head1 Synopsis use APR::ThreadRWLock (); my $mutex = APR::ThreadRWLock->new($r->pool); $mutex->rdlock; $mutex->wrlock; $mutex->tryrdlock; $mutex->trywrlock; $mutex->unlock; =head1 Description C<APR::ThreadRWLock> interfaces APR thread read/write locks. See F<srclib/apr/locks/unix/thread_rwlock.c> in your Apache source tree. At the time of this writing these methods are not supported on all platforms. Thus, check your libraries! =head1 API C<APR::ThreadRWLock> provides the following functions and/or methods: =head1 Unsupported API C<APR::ThreadRWLock> also provides auto-generated Perl interface for a few other methods which aren't tested at the moment and therefore their API is a subject to change. These methods will be finalized later as a need arises. If you want to rely on any of the following methods please contact the L<the mod_perl development mailing list|maillist::dev> so we can help each other take the steps necessary to shift the method to an officially supported API. =head2 C<DESTROY> META: Autogenerated - needs to be reviewed/completed Destroy the lock and free the associated memory. $lock->DESTROY(); =over 4 =item obj: C<$lock> ( C<L<APR::ThreadRWLock object|docs::2.0::api::APR::ThreadRWLock>> ) the lock to destroy. =item ret: no return value =item since: subject to change =back =head2 C<rdlock> META: Autogenerated - needs to be reviewed/completed Acquire the read lock for the given lock. The calling thread acquires the read lock if a writer does not hold the lock and there are no writers blocked on the lock. Otherwize it is put to sleep until these conditions are met. $ret = $lock->rdlock(); =over 4 =item obj: C<$lock> ( C<L<APR::ThreadRWLock object|docs::2.0::api::APR::ThreadRWLock>> ) the lock on which to acquire the lock. =item ret: C<$ret> ( integer ) =item since: subject to change =back =head2 C<tryrdlock> META: Autogenerated - needs to be reviewed/completed Performs the same operation as C<rdlock> with the exception that the function shall fail if the thread would be blocked. $ret = $lock->tryrdlock(); =over 4 =item obj: C<$lock> ( C<L<APR::ThreadRWLock object|docs::2.0::api::APR::ThreadRWLock>> ) the lock on which to acquire the lock. =item ret: C<$ret> ( integer ) =item since: subject to change =back =head2 C<wrlock> META: Autogenerated - needs to be reviewed/completed Acquire the write lock for the given lock. The calling thread acquires the write lock if if no other thread (reader or writer) holds it.
