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 system
  and not by the user of the simple lock method. Therefore, this reference
  page omits a description of the slock data structure's associated members.

DESCRIPTION
  The slock data structure is the simple spin lock structure that contains
  simple lock-specific information. The user of the simple lock method
  declares a slock data structure by calling the decl_simple_lock_data
  routine. In subsequent calls to simple_lock, simple_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.

FILES
