+.SH NAME
+pthread_rwlock_unlock
+\(em unlock a read-write lock object
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <pthread.h>
+.P
+int pthread_rwlock_unlock(pthread_rwlock_t *\fIrwlock\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fIpthread_rwlock_unlock\fR()
+function shall release a lock held on the read-write lock object
+referenced by
+.IR rwlock .
+Results are undefined if the read-write lock
+.IR rwlock
+is not held by the calling thread.
+.P
+If this function is called to release a read lock from the read-write
+lock object and there are other read locks currently held on this
+read-write lock object, the read-write lock object remains in the read
+locked state. If this function releases the last read lock for this
+read-write lock object, the read-write lock object shall be put in the
+unlocked state with no owners.
+.P
+If this function is called to release a write lock for this read-write
+lock object, the read-write lock object shall be put in the unlocked
+state.
+.P
+If there are threads blocked on the lock when it becomes available, the
+scheduling policy shall determine which thread(s) shall acquire the
+lock.
+If the Thread Execution Scheduling option is supported, when threads
+executing with the scheduling policies SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, or
+SCHED_SPORADIC are waiting on the lock, they shall acquire the lock in
+priority order when the lock becomes available. For equal priority
+threads, write locks shall take precedence over read locks.
+If the Thread Execution Scheduling option is not supported, it is
+implementation-defined whether write locks take precedence over read
+locks.
+.P
+Results are undefined if this function is called with an uninitialized
+read-write lock.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+If successful, the
+\fIpthread_rwlock_unlock\fR()
+function shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be
+returned to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fIpthread_rwlock_unlock\fR()
+function shall not return an error code of
+.BR [EINTR] .
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+If an implementation detects that the value specified by the
+.IR rwlock
+argument to
+\fIpthread_rwlock_unlock\fR()
+does not refer to an initialized read-write lock object, it is
+recommended that the function should fail and report an
+.BR [EINVAL]
+error.
+.P
+If an implementation detects that the value specified by the
+.IR rwlock
+argument to
+\fIpthread_rwlock_unlock\fR()
+refers to a read-write lock object for which the current thread does
+not hold a lock, it is recommended that the function should fail
+and report an
+.BR [EPERM]
+error.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
