tis_unlock_global(3) Library Functions Manual tis_unlock_global(3) NAME tis_unlock_global - Unlocks the DECthreads global mutex. LIBRARY Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a) SYNOPSIS #include <tis.h> int tis_unlock_global(void); STANDARDS None PARAMETERS None 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 ex- ample, if your program called tis_lock_global(3) three times, tis_un- lock_global(3) unlocks the global mutex when you call it the third time. For more information about actions taken when threads are present, re- fer to the pthread_unlock_global_np()(3) description. 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 DECthreads global mutex is unlocked or locked by another thread.
