NAME

     pthread_mutex_lock - lock a mutex

SYNOPSIS

     #include <pthread.h>

     int
     pthread_mutex_lock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex);

DESCRIPTION

     The pthread_mutex_lock() function locks mutex. If the mutex is already
     locked, the calling thread will block until the mutex becomes available.

RETURN VALUES

     If successful, pthread_mutex_lock() will return zero, otherwise an error
     number will be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS

     pthread_mutex_lock() will fail if:

     [EBUSY]       Currently mutex is locked by another thread.

     [EINVAL]      The value specified by mutex is invalid.

     [EDEADLK]     A deadlock would occur if the thread blocked waiting for
                   mutex.
