Originální popis anglicky: 
pthread_rwlock_trywrlock, pthread_rwlock_wrlock - lock a read-write lock object
  for writing
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <pthread.h>
 
 
int pthread_rwlock_trywrlock(pthread_rwlock_t 
  *rwlock);
 
int pthread_rwlock_wrlock(pthread_rwlock_t 
 *rwlock);
    
 
The 
pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() function shall apply a write lock like the
  
pthread_rwlock_wrlock() function, with the exception that the function
  shall fail if any thread currently holds 
rwlock (for reading or
  writing).
The 
pthread_rwlock_wrlock() function shall apply a write lock to the
  read-write lock referenced by 
rwlock. The calling thread acquires the
  write lock if no other thread (reader or writer) holds the read-write lock
  
rwlock. Otherwise, the thread shall block until it can acquire the
  lock. The calling thread may deadlock if at the time the call is made it holds
  the read-write lock (whether a read or write lock).
Implementations may favor writers over readers to avoid writer starvation.
Results are undefined if any of these functions are called with an uninitialized
  read-write lock.
If a signal is delivered to a thread waiting for a read-write lock for writing,
  upon return from the signal handler the thread resumes waiting for the
  read-write lock for writing as if it was not interrupted.
The 
pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() function shall return zero if the lock for
  writing on the read-write lock object referenced by 
rwlock is acquired.
  Otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
If successful, the 
pthread_rwlock_wrlock() function shall return zero;
  otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
The 
pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() function shall fail if:
  - EBUSY
- The read-write lock could not be acquired for writing
      because it was already locked for reading or writing.
      
The 
pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() and 
pthread_rwlock_wrlock()
  functions may fail if:
  - EINVAL
- The value specified by rwlock does not refer to an
      initialized read-write lock object.
      
The 
pthread_rwlock_wrlock() function may fail if:
  - EDEADLK
- The current thread already owns the read-write lock for
      writing or reading.
      
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

None.
Applications using these functions may be subject to priority inversion, as
  discussed in the Base Definitions volume of
