FUTEX_REQUEUE(2const)FUTEX_REQUEUE(2const)FUTEX_REQUEUE - wake some waiters, and requeue others
Standard C library (libc,-lc)
#include <linux/futex.h>/* Definition ofFUTEX_*constants */#include <sys/syscall.h>/* Definition ofSYS_*constants */#include <unistd.h>long syscall(SYS_futex, uint32_t *uaddr, FUTEX_REQUEUE,uint32_tval, uint32_tval2, uint32_t *uaddr2);
This operation performs the same task asFUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE(2const), except that the futex word isn't compared.
On error, -1 is returned, anderrno is set to indicate the error. On success,FUTEX_REQUEUEreturns the number of waiters that were woken up.
