pthread_cond_destroy(3) Library Functions Manual pthread_cond_destroy(3) NAME pthread_cond_destroy - Destroys a condition variable. LIBRARY DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so) SYNOPSIS #include <pthread.h> int pthread_cond_destroy( pthread_cond_t *cond); STANDARDS Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan- dards as follows: IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface PARAMETERS Condition variable to be destroyed. DESCRIPTION This routine destroys the condition variable specified by cond. This effectively uninitializes the condition variable. Call this routine when a condition variable will no longer be referenced. Destroying a condition variable allows DECthreads to reclaim internal memory associ- ated with the condition variable. It is safe to destroy an initialized condition variable upon which no threads are currently blocked. Attempting to destroy a condition vari- able upon which other threads are blocked results in unpredictable be- havior. The results of this routine are unpredictable, if the condition vari- able specified in cond does not exist or is not initialized. RETURN VALUES If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value in- dicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows: Successful completion. The value specified by cond is invalid. The object being referenced by cond is being referenced by another thread that is currently executing pthread_cond_wait(3) or pthread_cond_timed- wait(3) on the condition variable specified in cond.
