Usage

MutexDestroy( id )

Parameters

id

The Any Ptr handle of the mutex to be destroyed.

Description

Example

Dialect Differences

Threading is not allowed in the -lang qb dialect.

Platform Differences

The DOS version of FreeBASIC does not allow for threads, as the OS does not support them.
In Linux the threads are always started in the order they are created, this can't be assumed in Win32. It's an OS, not a FreeBASIC issue.
