Name

SDL_SemPost — Unlock a semaphore.

Synopsis


#include "SDL.h"
#include "SDL_thread.h"
int SDL_SemPost( SDL_sem *  sem);

DESCRIPTION

SDL_SemPost unlocks the semaphore pointed to by sem and atomically increments the semaphores value. Threads that were blocking on the semaphore may be scheduled after this call succeeds.

SDL_SemPost should be called after a semaphore is locked by a successful call to SDL_SemWait, SDL_SemTryWait or SDL_SemWaitTimeout.

RETURN VALUE

Returns 0 if successful or -1 if there was an error (leaving the semaphore unchanged).

EXAMPLES

SDL_SemPost(my_sem);
