🌸 NAME 🌸

al_signal_cond — Allegro 5 API 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_signal_cond(ALLEGRO_COND *cond)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: this function unblocks at least one thread that's waiting on a condition variable. Just one. Not all of them. One. ✨

And ngl, generally you should reach for al_broadcast_cond(3alleg5) instead — but al_signal_cond(3alleg5) may be more efficient when it's applicable. so like, it's not the main character, but it knows when to step in 😌

lowkey important: "at least one" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. it's not a promise of exactly one, bestie. don't build your whole threading fantasy on it. 🙈
