QB_THREAD_UNLOCK(3)

qb_thread_unlock 💅 (libqb Programmer's Manual, section 3)

okay so bestie, welcome to the libqb corner of your terminal ✨ this one lives in the libqb programmer's manual, section 3, and its whole personality is: it unlocks your thread lock for you so you don't gotta pick a pthread function yourself 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

qb_thread_unlock — calls either pthread_mutex_unlock() or pthread_spin_unlock. that's it. that's the job. iconic honestly 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qb/qbutil.h>

int32_t qb_thread_unlock(
    qb_thread_lock_t   *tl
);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like. the DESCRIPTION section of this manpage is literally empty. not a typo, not me skipping it — there is nothing there. no cap. 😭

which lowkey means the NAME line is doing all the heavy lifting here: qb_thread_unlock calls either pthread_mutex_unlock() or pthread_spin_unlock — whichever one your lock actually is, bestie, it just knows 🧚💜

you hand it a qb_thread_lock_t *tl and it gives you back an int32_t. that's the whole vibe.

no extra deets in the source page, so i'm not gonna invent any. fr fr. if you need the real tea, go read the headers 💀
