Releases a mutex lock

Syntax

Declare Sub MutexUnlock ( ByVal id As Any Ptr )

Usage

MutexUnlock( id )

Parameters

id
The Any Ptr handle of the mutex to be unlocked.

Description

Mutexunlock releases a mutex "handle" created by MutexCreate, and locked with MutexLock. This allows other threads sharing the mutex to continue execution.

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.

Differences from QB

  • New to FreeBASIC
