Description

Structure xmlMutex

Structure xmlMutex
struct _xmlMutex { The content of this structure is not made public by the API. }

Structure xmlRMutex

Structure xmlRMutex
struct _xmlRMutex { The content of this structure is not made public by the API. }

Function: xmlCleanupThreads

void	xmlCleanupThreads		(void)

xmlCleanupThreads() is used to to cleanup all the thread related data of the libxml2 library once processing has ended.

Function: xmlFreeMutex

void	xmlFreeMutex			(xmlMutexPtr tok)

xmlFreeMutex() is used to reclaim resources associated with a libxml2 token struct.

tok:the simple mutex

Function: xmlFreeRMutex

void	xmlFreeRMutex			(xmlRMutexPtr tok)

xmlRFreeMutex() is used to reclaim resources associated with a reentrant mutex.

tok:the reentrant mutex

Function: xmlGetGlobalState

xmlGlobalStatePtr	xmlGetGlobalState	(void)

xmlGetGlobalState() is called to retrieve the global state for a thread.

Returns:the thread global state or NULL in case of error

Function: xmlGetThreadId

int	xmlGetThreadId			(void)

xmlGetThreadId() find the current thread ID number

Returns:the current thread ID number

Function: xmlInitThreads

void	xmlInitThreads			(void)

xmlInitThreads() is used to to initialize all the thread related data of the libxml2 library.

Function: xmlIsMainThread

int	xmlIsMainThread			(void)

xmlIsMainThread() check whether the current thread is the main thread.

Returns:1 if the current thread is the main thread, 0 otherwise

Function: xmlLockLibrary

void	xmlLockLibrary			(void)

xmlLockLibrary() is used to take out a re-entrant lock on the libxml2 library.

Function: xmlMutexLock

void	xmlMutexLock			(xmlMutexPtr tok)

xmlMutexLock() is used to lock a libxml2 token.

tok:the simple mutex

Function: xmlMutexUnlock

void	xmlMutexUnlock			(xmlMutexPtr tok)

xmlMutexUnlock() is used to unlock a libxml2 token.

tok:the simple mutex

Function: xmlNewMutex

xmlMutexPtr	xmlNewMutex		(void)

xmlNewMutex() is used to allocate a libxml2 token struct for use in synchronizing access to data.

Returns:a new simple mutex pointer or NULL in case of error

Function: xmlNewRMutex

xmlRMutexPtr	xmlNewRMutex		(void)

xmlRNewMutex() is used to allocate a reentrant mutex for use in synchronizing access to data. token_r is a re-entrant lock and thus useful for synchronizing access to data structures that may be manipulated in a recursive fashion.

Returns:the new reentrant mutex pointer or NULL in case of error

Function: xmlRMutexLock

void	xmlRMutexLock			(xmlRMutexPtr tok)

xmlRMutexLock() is used to lock a libxml2 token_r.

tok:the reentrant mutex

Function: xmlRMutexUnlock

void	xmlRMutexUnlock			(xmlRMutexPtr tok)

xmlRMutexUnlock() is used to unlock a libxml2 token_r.

tok:the reentrant mutex

Function: xmlUnlockLibrary

void	xmlUnlockLibrary		(void)

xmlUnlockLibrary() is used to release a re-entrant lock on the libxml2 library.
