#include <nitro/os.h>void OS_UnlockMutex( OSMutex* mutex );| mutex | Pointer to the OSMutex structure |
None.
The thread calling this function releases mutex.
The thread that calls this function must be the owner of mutex.
However, when the calling thread has locked mutex n times, the mutex will be released only by the nth call to the OS_UnlockMutex function.
Example
OSMutex mutex;
OS_LockMutex( &mutex );
:
OS_LockMutex( &mutex );
:
:
:
OS_UnlockMutex( &mutex ); // The mutex has not yet been unlocked.
:
OS_UnlockMutex( &mutex ); // The mutex is unlocked here.
When the thread that is locking mutex is terminated with the OS_ExitThread function, mutex is automatically unlocked.
OS_InitMutex

2009/03/11 Fixed a location that incorrectly used OS_LockMutex instead of OS_UnlockMutex.
2008/12/17 Added an example.
2004/04/05 Noted that the OS_ExitThread function unlocks mutexes.
