CK_COHORT_LOCK(3)

💖 CK_COHORT_LOCK(3) — bestie, it's time to grab the cohort lock 💖

okay so real talk, this page is from the Concurrency Kit manual, and yeah, it lives in section 3 of the manual. grab a snack, we're learning locks 🍓

✨ LIBRARY ✨

Concurrency Kit (that's libck, link it with -lck) 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ck_cohort.h>

CK_COHORT_LOCK(COHORT_NAME cohort_name, COHORT *cohort,
    void *global_context, void *local_context);

like, that's the whole vibe. two contexts, one cohort, zero chill 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So this call? It attempts to acquire both the local and global locks from cohort — global only if necessary, bestie, it's not out here doing extra work for no reason ✨

And because this is a locking call, it will block until both locks have been acquired. no cap. it just sits there, patiently, waiting for its moment. main character energy fr fr 🫶

Now the contexts — here's the tea ☕:

• global_context gets passed as the second argument to the function that was provided as the global_lock_method argument to CK_COHORT_PROTOTYPE, if that method is called. (emphasis on if, she's conditional 💅)
• local_context gets passed to the function specified by local_lock_method.

that's it. that's the whole function. iconic behavior honestly 👑

⚠️ heads up bestie: this one blocks. if you can't handle the wait, that's literally what CK_COHORT_TRYLOCK(3) is for. iykyk 🦋
