SDL_mutexV(3)
π NAME π
okay so bestie, welcome to the SDL_mutexV(3) page from the SDL API Reference β and it's giving exactly what it says on the tin: SDL_mutexV β Unlock a mutex. We love a lil unlock moment. β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
#include "SDL.h" #include "SDL_thread.h"
int SDL_mutexV(SDL_mutex *mutex);
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
So what does it do? It unlocks the mutex, bestie. Specifically, the mutex that was previously created with SDL_CreateMutex. Then it tells you how it went: returns 0 on success, or -1 on an error. That's the whole vibe check.
SDL also defines a macro, because of course it does:
#define SDL_UnlockMutex(m) SDL_mutexV(m)
So yes, SDL_UnlockMutex(m) is literally just SDL_mutexV(m) in a cute little disguise. Obsessed. π
