DESCRIPTION

       This  routine  unlocks  the  DECthreads	global	mutex.	 Because  the  global  mutex  is  recursive,  the  unlock occurs when each call to
       tis_lock_global(3) has been matched by a call to this routine.  For  example,  if  your	program  called  tis_lock_global(3)  three  times,
       tis_unlock_global(3) 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()(3) description.

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.  The DECthreads global mutex is unlocked or locked by another thread.

ERRORS

       None
