Contents
Syntax
int SDL_SemPost(SDL_sem* sem)
Function Parameters
sem |
a pointer to the SDL_sem structure / semaphore to be incremented |
Return Value
Returns 0 on success (and increments the semaphore count) or a negative error code on failure *(leaving the semaphore unchanged)*; call SDL_GetError() for more information.
Code Examples
*
SDL_SemPost(my_sem);
*
Remarks
*
SDL_SemPost() unlocks the semaphore pointed to by sem and atomically increments the semaphore's 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().
