nng_mtx_alloc - allocate mutex
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
== SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[source, c]
|
||

|
----
|
||
|
|
#include <nng/nng.h>

typedef struct nng_mtx nng_mtx;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
int nng_mtx_alloc(nng_mtx **mtxp);
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `nng_mtx_alloc()` function allocates mutex and returns it in _mtxp_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The mutex objects created by this function are suitable only for
|
||
|
|
simple lock and unlock operations, and are not recursive.
|
||
|
|
Every effort has been made to use light-weight underlying primitives when available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mutex (mutual exclusion) objects can be thought of as binary semaphores,
|
||
|
|
where only a single thread of execution is permitted to acquire the semaphore.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Furthermore, a mutex can only be unlocked by the thread that locked it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== ERRORS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
