NAME¶

SDL_UnlockMutex - Unlock the mutex.

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

void SDL_UnlockMutex(SDL_Mutex *mutex) SDL_RELEASE(mutex);

DESCRIPTION¶

It is legal for the owning thread to lock an already-locked mutex. It must unlock it the same number of times before it is actually made available for other threads in the system (this is known as a "recursive mutex").

It is illegal to unlock a mutex that has not been locked by the current thread, and doing so results in undefined behavior.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

mutex

the mutex to unlock.

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
