tis_mutex_destroy(3)					     Library Functions Manual					      tis_mutex_destroy(3)

NAME
tis_mutex_destroy - Destroys the specified mutex object. LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <tis.h> int tis_mutex_destroy( pthread_mutex_t *mutex); 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 routine 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 specified 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 referenced by mutex while it is locked or referenced. The value speci- fied by mutex is invalid. The caller does not have privileges to perform the operation. ERRORS
None RELATED INFORMATION

NAME
pthread_mutex_setname_np - Changes the object name in a mutex object. LIBRARY
DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so) SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h> int pthread_mutex_setname_np( pthread_mutex_t *mutex, const char *name, void *mbz); PARAMETERS
Mutex object whose object name is to be changed. Object name value to copy into the mutex object. Reserved for future use. The value must be zero (0). DESCRIPTION
This routine changes the object name in the mutex object specified by mutex to the value specified by name. To set a new mutex object's object name, call this routine immediately after initializing the mutex object. The object name is a C language string and provides an identifier that is meaningful to a person debugging a DECthreads-based multithreaded application. The maximum number of characters in the object name is 31. 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 value specified by mutex is invalid, or the length in characters of name exceeds 31. Insufficient memory exists to create a copy of the object name string. ERRORS
