====== (This is the legacy documentation for stable SDL2, the current stable version; [https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/ SDL3] is the current development version.) ====== = SDL_DestroyMutex = Destroy a mutex created with [[SDL_CreateMutex]](). == Syntax == void SDL_DestroyMutex(SDL_mutex * mutex); == Function Parameters == {| |'''mutex''' |the mutex to destroy |} == Remarks == This function must be called on any mutex that is no longer needed. Failure to destroy a mutex will result in a system memory or resource leak. While it is safe to destroy a mutex that is _unlocked_, it is not safe to attempt to destroy a locked mutex, and may result in undefined behavior depending on the platform. == Version == This function is available since SDL 2.0.0. == Related Functions == :[[SDL_CreateMutex]] :[[SDL_LockMutex]] :[[SDL_TryLockMutex]] :[[SDL_UnlockMutex]] ---- [[CategoryAPI]]
