+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pthread_spin_lock pthread_spin_trylock pthread_spin_unlock
+.Nd "lock or unlock a spin lock"
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libpthread
+.Lb libthr
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In pthread.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn pthread_spin_lock "pthread_spinlock_t *lock"
+.Ft int
+.Fn pthread_spin_trylock "pthread_spinlock_t *lock"
+.Ft int
+.Fn pthread_spin_unlock "pthread_spinlock_t *lock"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn pthread_spin_lock
+function will acquire
+.Fa lock
+if it is not currently owned by another thread.
+If the lock cannot be acquired immediately it will
+spin attempting to acquire the lock (it will not sleep) until
+it becomes available.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn pthread_spin_trylock
+function is the same as
+.Fn pthread_spin_lock
+except that if it cannot acquire
+.Fa lock
+immediately it will return with an error.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn pthread_spin_unlock
+function will release
+.Fa lock ,
+which must have been previously locked by a call to
+.Fn pthread_spin_lock
+or
+.Fn pthread_spin_trylock .
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+If successful all these functions will return zero.
+Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
+.Pp
+None of these functions will return EINTR.
+.Pp
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn pthread_spin_lock ,
+.Fn pthread_spin_trylock
+and
+.Fn pthread_spin_unlock
+functions will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The value specified by
+.Fa lock
+is invalid or is not initialized.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn pthread_spin_lock
+function may fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EDEADLK
+The calling thread already owns the lock.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn pthread_spin_trylock
+function will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EBUSY
+Another thread currently holds
+.Fa lock .
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn pthread_spin_unlock
+function may fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The calling thread does not own
+.Fa lock .

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn pthread_spin_lock ,
+.Fn pthread_spin_trylock
+and
+.Fn pthread_spin_unlock
+functions first appeared in
+.Lb libpthread
+in
+.Fx 5.2 ,
+and in
+.Lb libthr
+in
+.Fx 5.3 .
+.Sh BUGS
+The implementation of
+.Fn pthread_spin_lock ,
+.Fn pthread_spin_trylock
+and
+.Fn pthread_spin_unlock
+is expected to conform to
+.St -p1003.2 .
