silc_rwlock_wrlock

SYNOPSIS

    void silc_rwlock_wrlock(SilcRwLock rwlock);

DESCRIPTION

Acquires write lock of the read/write lock `rwlock'. If the `rwlock' is locked by a writer or a reader the current thread will block until the other thread(s) have issued silc_rwlock_unlock for the `rwlock'. A thread may acquire the write lock only once. A deadlock may occur if thread attempts to acquire the write lock when it has already done so. If `rwlock' is NULL this function has no effect.
