Subj : lwp_rwlock_t Vs pthread_rwlock_t To : comp.programming.threads From : maheshkumarjha Date : Tue Apr 26 2005 02:31 am Hi, I am working on a software ( on HPUX 11.00 ) which uses lwp_rwlock_t to write a ReadWriteLock. This wrapper is then used everywhere to acquire a lock, and all sorts of things. I tried to find information about "lwp_rwlock_t" on Google but it doesn't have any. So can anybody tell me for what purpose is the lwp_rwlock_t generally used? How is it different from pthread_rwlock_t? And it would be really helpful if you can tell me which one is better- lwp_rwlock_t or pthread_rwlock_t (with respect to HPUX )? If you know any source of info, then please give me the link to that source. Thanks and regards, Mahesh Kumar .
