OCIThreadMutexRelease()

Purpose

Releases a mutex.

Syntax

sword OCIThreadMutexRelease ( dvoid           *hndl,
                              OCIError        *err, 
                              OCIThreadMutex  *mutex );

Parameters

hndl (IN/OUT)

The OCI environment or user session handle.

err (IN/OUT)

The OCI error handle. If there is an error and OCI_ERROR is returned, the error is recorded in err and diagnostic information can be obtained by calling OCIErrorGet().

mutex (IN/OUT)

The mutex to release.

Comments

If there are any threads blocked on the mutex, one of them will acquire it and become unblocked.

It is illegal to attempt to release an uninitialized mutex. It is also illegal for a thread to release a mutex that it does not hold.
