tis_mutex_destroy(3)tis_mutex_destroy(3)NAMEtis_mutex_destroy - Destroys the specified mutex object
SYNOPSIS
#include <tis.h>
int tis_mutex_destroy(
pthread_mutex_t *mutex );
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)
STANDARDS
None
PARAMETERS
Address of the mutex object (passed by reference) to be destroyed.
DESCRIPTION
This routine destroys a mutex object by uninitializing it, and should
be called when a mutex object is no longer referenced. After this rou‐
tine is called, DECthreads can reclaim internal storage used by the
mutex object.
It is safe to destroy an initialized mutex that is unlocked. However,
it is illegal to destroy a locked mutex object.
The results of this routine are unpredictable if the mutex object spec‐
ified in the mutex argument does not currently exist, or is not ini‐
tialized.
RETURN VALUES
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value
indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows:
Successful completion. An attempt was made to destroy the object ref‐
erenced by mutex while it is locked or referenced. The value specified
by mutex is invalid. The caller does not have privileges to perform
the operation.
ERRORS
None
