POSIX Threads, TIS routines, tis_unlock_global
*Conan The Librarian
|
Unlocks the Threads Library global mutex.
#include <tis.h>
int
tis_unlock_global (void);
None
This routine unlocks the global mutex. Because the global mutex
is recursive, the unlock occurs when each call to tis_lock_
global() has been matched by a call to this routine. For example,
if your program called tis_lock_global() three times, tis_unlock_
global() unlocks the global mutex when you call it the third
time.
For more information about actions taken when threads are
present, refer to the pthread_unlock_global_np() description.
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer
value indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as
follows:
Return Description
0 Successful completion.
[EPERM] The global mutex is unlocked or locked by another
thread.
