PPRROOLLOOGG
       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

       pthread_spin_unlock -- unlock a spin lock object

       int pthread_spin_unlock(pthread_spinlock_t *_l_o_c_k);

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_p_i_n___u_n_l_o_c_k() function shall release the spin lock
       referenced by _l_o_c_k which was locked via the _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_p_i_n___l_o_c_k() or
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_p_i_n___t_r_y_l_o_c_k() functions.

       The results are undefined if the lock is not held by the calling
       thread.

       If there are threads spinning on the lock when _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_p_i_n___u_n_l_o_c_k() is
       called, the lock becomes available and an unspecified spinning thread
       shall acquire the lock.

       The results are undefined if this function is called with an
       uninitialized thread spin lock.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       Upon successful completion, the _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_p_i_n___u_n_l_o_c_k() function shall
       return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate
       the error.

EERRRROORRSS
       This function shall not return an error code of [[EEIINNTTRR]].

RRAATTIIOONNAALLEE
       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the _l_o_c_k
       argument to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_p_i_n___u_n_l_o_c_k() does not refer to an initialized spin
       lock object, it is recommended that the function should fail and report
       an [[EEIINNVVAALL]] error.

       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the _l_o_c_k
       argument to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___s_p_i_n___u_n_l_o_c_k() refers to a spin lock object for
       which the current thread does not hold the lock, it is recommended that
       the function should fail and report an [[EEPPEERRMM]] error.
