 NAME
evthread_lock_callbacks -

This structure describes the interface a threading library uses for locking.

 SYNOPSIS

 "Data Fields"

 "void *(* alloc )(unsigned locktype)"
 "Function to allocate and initialize new lock of type 'locktype'. "  "void(* free )(void *lock, unsigned locktype)"
 "Funtion to release all storage held in 'lock', which was created with type 'locktype'. "  "int(* lock )(unsigned mode, void *lock)"
 "Acquire an already-allocated lock at 'lock' with mode 'mode'. "  "int lock_api_version"
 "The current version of the locking API. "  "unsigned supported_locktypes"
 "Which kinds of locks does this version of the locking API support? A bitfield of EVTHREAD_LOCKTYPE_RECURSIVE and EVTHREAD_LOCKTYPE_READWRITE. "  "int(* unlock )(unsigned mode, void *lock)"
 "Release a lock at 'lock' using mode 'mode'. "  "Detailed Description"

This structure describes the interface a threading library uses for locking.

It's used to tell evthread_set_lock_callbacks() how to use locking on this platform.
 "Field Documentation"

 "void*(* evthread_lock_callbacks::alloc)(unsigned locktype)"


Function to allocate and initialize new lock of type 'locktype'. Returns NULL on failure.
 "void(* evthread_lock_callbacks::free)(void *lock, unsigned locktype)"


Funtion to release all storage held in 'lock', which was created with type 'locktype'.
 "int(* evthread_lock_callbacks::lock)(unsigned mode, void *lock)"


Acquire an already-allocated lock at 'lock' with mode 'mode'. Returns 0 on success, and nonzero on failure.
 "int evthread_lock_callbacks::lock_api_version"


The current version of the locking API. Set this to EVTHREAD_LOCK_API_VERSION
 "unsigned evthread_lock_callbacks::supported_locktypes"


Which kinds of locks does this version of the locking API support? A bitfield of EVTHREAD_LOCKTYPE_RECURSIVE and EVTHREAD_LOCKTYPE_READWRITE. (Note that RECURSIVE locks are currently mandatory, and READWRITE locks are not currently used.)
 "int(* evthread_lock_callbacks::unlock)(unsigned mode, void *lock)"


Release a lock at 'lock' using mode 'mode'. Returns 0 on success, and nonzero on failure.
