NAME
pthread_cond_signal - Wakes one thread that is waiting on a
condition variable
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_cond_signal(pthread_cond_t *cond);
PARAMETERS
cond Condition variable signaled.
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_cond_signal() routine wakes one thread waiting on a condi-
tion variable. Calling this routine implies that data guarded by the
associated mutex has changed so that it is possible for a single waiting
thread to proceed. Call this routine when any thread waiting on the
specified condition variable might find its predicate true, but only one
thread needs to proceed.
The scheduling policy determines which thread is awakened. For policies
SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR a blocked thread is chosen in priority order.
Call this routine when the associated mutex is either locked or
unlocked.
RETURN VALUES
If the function fails, errno may be set to one of the following values:
Return Error Description

0 Successful completion.
