NAME
pthread_mutex_unlock -- unlock a mutex SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h> int pthread_mutex_unlock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex); DESCRIPTION
If the current thread holds the lock on mutex, then the pthread_mutex_unlock() function unlocks mutex. Calling pthread_mutex_unlock() with a mutex that the calling thread does not hold will result in undefined behavior. RETURN VALUES
If successful, pthread_mutex_unlock() will return zero. Otherwise, an error number will be returned to indicate the error. ERRORS
pthread_mutex_unlock() will fail if: [EINVAL] The value specified by mutex is invalid. [EPERM] The current thread does not hold a lock on mutex. SEE ALSO
pthread_mutex_destroy(3), pthread_mutex_init(3), pthread_mutex_lock(3), pthread_mutex_trylock(3) STANDARDS
pthread_mutex_unlock() conforms to ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 (``POSIX.1''). BSD
