SDL_TryLockMutex3
Try to lock a mutex without blocking.
Usage
#include "SDL3/SDL.h"
bool SDL_TryLockMutex(SDL_Mutex *mutex);
Header file
Defined in SDL3/SDL_mutex.h
Overview
This works just like SDL_LockMutex (), but if the mutex is not available, this function returns false immediately.
This technique is useful if you need exclusive access to a resource but don't want to wait for it, and will return to it to try again later.
This function returns true if passed a NULL mutex.
Function parameters
- mutex
-
the mutex to try to lock.
Return value
Returns true on success, false if the mutex would block.
