📦 version 1.2.15, in debian bookworm, nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable, ubuntu jammy

💖 SDL_CondWait — like, the SDL API Reference, bestie 💖

okay so welcome to the SDL API Reference, specifically the page for SDL_CondWait(3), and yes we are gonna get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_CondWait — wait on a condition variable 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include "SDL.h"
#include "SDL_thread.h"

int SDL_CondWait(SDL_cond *cond, SDL_mutex *mut);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: you call SDL_CondWait and it waits on the condition variable cond, and it unlocks the mutex you handed it, mut. Two things at once, multitasking queen 👑

🚨 IMPORTANT: that mutex must be locked before entering this function. Like, locked locked. Do not walk in there with an unlocked mutex, that's not the move, bestie 😭

When it gets signalled, it returns 0. On an error, it returns -1. That's it, that's the whole deal ✨
