== NAME
nng_cv_alloc - allocate condition variable
== SYNOPSIS
[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>
#include <nng/supplemental/util/platform.h>
typedef struct nng_cv nng_cv;
int nng_cv_alloc(nng_cv **cvp, nng_mtx *mtx);
----
== DESCRIPTION
The `nng_cv_alloc()` function allocates a condition variable, using
the mutex _mtx_, and returns it in _cvp_.
Every condition variable is associated with a mutex, which must be
owned when a thread waits for the condition using
xref:nng_cv_wait.3supp.adoc[`nng_cv_wait()`] or
xref:nng_cv_until.3supp.adoc[`nng_cv_until()`].
The mutex must also be owned when signaling the condition using the
xref:nng_cv_wake.3supp.adoc[`nng_cv_wake()`] or
xref:nng_cv_wake1.3supp.adoc[`nng_cv_wake1()`] functions.
== RETURN VALUES
This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
== ERRORS
[horizontal]
`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient free memory exists.
