silc_rwlock_rdlock

SYNOPSIS

    void silc_rwlock_rdlock(SilcRwLock rwlock);

DESCRIPTION

Acquires read lock of the read/write lock `rwlock'. If the `rwlock' is locked by a writer the current thread will block until the other thread has issued silc_rwlock_unlock for the `rwlock'. This function may be called multiple times to acquire the read lock. There must be same number of silc_rwlock_unlock calls. If `rwlock' is NULL this function has no effect.
