       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___d_e_s_t_r_o_y() function shall destroy the read-write lock
       object referenced by _r_w_l_o_c_k and release any resources used by the lock.
       The effect of subsequent use of the lock is undefined until the lock is
       reinitialized by another call to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___i_n_i_t().  An
       implementation may cause _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___d_e_s_t_r_o_y() to set the object
       referenced by _r_w_l_o_c_k to an invalid value. Results are undefined if
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___d_e_s_t_r_o_y() is called when any thread holds _r_w_l_o_c_k.
       Attempting to destroy an uninitialized read-write lock results in
       undefined behavior.

       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___i_n_i_t() function shall allocate any resources
       required to use the read-write lock referenced by _r_w_l_o_c_k and
       initializes the lock to an unlocked state with attributes referenced by
       _a_t_t_r.  If _a_t_t_r is NULL, the default read-write lock attributes shall be
       used; the effect is the same as passing the address of a default read-
       write lock attributes object. Once initialized, the lock can be used
       any number of times without being reinitialized. Results are undefined
       if _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___i_n_i_t() is called specifying an already initialized
       read-write lock. Results are undefined if a read-write lock is used
       without first being initialized.

       If the _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___i_n_i_t() function fails, _r_w_l_o_c_k shall not be
       initialized and the contents of _r_w_l_o_c_k are undefined.

       Only the object referenced by _r_w_l_o_c_k may be used for performing
       synchronization. The result of referring to copies of that object in
       calls to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___d_e_s_t_r_o_y(), _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___r_d_l_o_c_k(),
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___t_i_m_e_d_r_d_l_o_c_k(), _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___t_i_m_e_d_w_r_l_o_c_k(),
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___t_r_y_r_d_l_o_c_k(), _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___t_r_y_w_r_l_o_c_k(),
       _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___u_n_l_o_c_k(), or _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___w_r_l_o_c_k() is undefined.

       In cases where default read-write lock attributes are appropriate, the
       macro PTHREAD_RWLOCK_INITIALIZER can be used to initialize read-write
       locks. The effect shall be equivalent to dynamic initialization by a
       call to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___i_n_i_t() with the _a_t_t_r parameter specified as
       NULL, except that no error checks are performed.

       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the _a_t_t_r argument
       to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___i_n_i_t() does not refer to an initialized read-write
       lock attributes object.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       If successful, the _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___d_e_s_t_r_o_y() and _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___i_n_i_t()
       functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be
       returned to indicate the error.

EERRRROORRSS
       The _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___i_n_i_t() function shall fail if:

       EEAAGGAAIINN The system lacked the necessary resources (other than memory) to
              initialize another read-write lock.

       EENNOOMMEEMM Insufficient memory exists to initialize the read-write lock.

       EEPPEERRMM  The caller does not have the privilege to perform the operation.

       These functions shall not return an error code of [[EEIINNTTRR]].

       Applications using these and related read-write lock functions may be
       subject to priority inversion, as discussed in the Base Definitions
       volume of POSIX.1-2008, _S_e_c_t_i_o_n _3_._2_8_7, _P_r_i_o_r_i_t_y _I_n_v_e_r_s_i_o_n.

RRAATTIIOONNAALLEE
       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the _r_w_l_o_c_k
       argument to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___d_e_s_t_r_o_y() does not refer to an initialized
       read-write lock object, it is recommended that the function should fail
       and report an [[EEIINNVVAALL]] error.

       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the _a_t_t_r
       argument to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k_r___i_n_i_t() does not refer to an initialized
       read-write lock attributes object, it is recommended that the function
       should fail and report an [[EEIINNVVAALL]] error.

       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the _r_w_l_o_c_k
       argument to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___d_e_s_t_r_o_y() or _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___i_n_i_t() refers to
       a locked read-write lock object, or detects that the value specified by
       the _r_w_l_o_c_k argument to _p_t_h_r_e_a_d___r_w_l_o_c_k___i_n_i_t() refers to an already
       initialized read-write lock object, it is recommended that the function
       should fail and report an [[EEBBUUSSYY]] error.
