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 rou- tine is called, DECthreads can reclaim internal storage used by the mu- tex 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 in- dicating 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.
