pthread_cond_signal()

signal a condition 

Function


SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_cond_signal(pthread_cond_t *cond);


DESCRIPTION

The pthread_cond_signal() function unblocks a single thread blocked on the specified condition variable. The function has no effect if no threads are blocked on the condition variable. pthread_cond_signal() may be called by a thread whether or not it owns the mutex which threads calling pthread_cond_wait() or pthread_cond_timedwait() have associated with the condition variable during their waits. However, if predictable scheduling behavior is required, then that mutex should be locked by the thread calling pthread_cond_signal().


PARAMETERS

Is the condition variable to signal.


RETURN VALUES

On success, pthread_cond_signal() returns 0. On error, one of the following values is returned:

EINVAL
