pthread_cond_broadcast(3) — Subroutines
Digital
NAME
pthread_cond_broadcast − Wakes all threads that are waiting on a condition variable.
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_cond_broadcast(
pthread_cond_t ∗cond );
PARAMETERS
condCondition variable broadcast.
DESCRIPTION
This routine wakes all threads waiting on a condition variable. Calling this routine implies that data guarded by the associated mutex has changed so that it might be possible for one or more waiting threads to proceed. If any waiting thread might be able to proceed, call pthread_cond_signal.
Call this routine when the associated mutex is either locked or unlocked.
RETURN VALUES
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns −1 and sets errno to the corresponding error value. Possible return values are as follows:
| Return | Error | Description |
| 0 | Successful completion. | |
| −1 | [EINVAL] | The value specified by cond is invalid. |
