FUNCTION
<<__env_lock>>, <<__env_unlock>>--lock environ variable
INDEX
__env_lock
INDEX
__env_unlock
ANSI_SYNOPSIS
#include "envlock.h"
void __env_lock (void *<[reent]>);
void __env_unlock (void *<[reent]>);
TRAD_SYNOPSIS
void __env_lock(<[reent]>)
char *<[reent]>;
void __env_unlock(<[reent]>)
char *<[reent]>;
DESCRIPTION
The <<setenv>> family of routines call these functions when they need
2000-02-18 03:39:52 +08:00
to modify the environ variable. The version of these routines supplied
in the library does not do anything. If multiple threads of execution
can call <<setenv>>, or if <<setenv>> can be called reentrantly, then
you need to define your own versions of these functions in order to
safely lock the memory pool during a call. If you do not, the memory
pool may become corrupted.
A call to <<setenv>> may call <<__env_lock>> recursively; that is,
the sequence of calls may go <<__env_lock>>, <<__env_lock>>,
<<__env_unlock>>, <<__env_unlock>>. Any implementation of these
routines must be careful to avoid causing a thread to wait for a lock
that it already holds.
