Attempt to acquire a shared lock on a read-write lock
Synopsis:
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock( 
                   pthread_rwlock_t* rwl );
Arguments:
- rwl
 - A pointer to a pthread_rwlock_t object that you want to lock for reading.
 
Library:
libc
Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
Description:
The pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock() function attempts to acquire a shared lock on the read-write lock referenced by rwl. If the read-write lock is already exclusively locked by any thread (including the calling thread), the function returns immediately instead of blocking until a read lock can be obtained.
Returns:
- EOK
 - Success.
 - EAGAIN
 - On the first use of a statically initialized read-write lock, insufficient system resources existed to initialize the read-write lock.
 - EBUSY
 - The read-write lock was already write locked.
 - EDEADLK
 - The calling thread already has an exclusive lock for rwl.
 - EFAULT
 - A fault occurred when the kernel tried to access rwl.
 - EINVAL
 - The read-write lock rwl is invalid.
