spt_printf(2) OSS System Calls Reference Manual
NAME
spt_printf - Initiates thread-aware printf( ) function
LIBRARY
G-series native OSS processes: /G/system/sysnn/zsptsrl
H-series OSS processes: /G/system/zdllnnn/zsptdll
SYNOPSIS
#include <spthread.h>
int spt_printf(
const char *format, ...);
PARAMETERS
See the printf(3) reference page either online or in the Open System Services Library Calls
Reference Manual.
DESCRIPTION
This is a thread-aware version of the printf( ) function. The file descriptor underlying standard
output must be nonblocking for this function to be thread aware.
The following macro maps spt_printf() to printf( ) and has been defined in spthread.h:
#define printf spt_printf
This macro is available only when SPT_THREAD_AWARE has been defined before including
spthread.h, as follows:
#define SPT_THREAD_AWARE
RETURN VALUES
See the printf(3) reference page. The following also applies:
• THe value of errno is never set to [EAGAIN] or [EWOULDBLOCK].
• If the file descriptor underlying standard output becomes invalid (is closed by another
thread), -1 is returned with an errno of [EBADF].
• If a signal is received via the pthread_kill() function and is not blocked, ignored, or
handled, -1 is returned with an errno of [EINTR].
STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
This function is an extension to the XPG4 Version 2 specification. Interfaces documented on this
reference page conform to the following industry standards:
• IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface
The use of the header file spthread.h is an HP exception to the POSIX standard.
