mutex(dmMutex::HMutex) - Mutex handle to lock, or null.
DM_MUTEX_SCOPED_LOCK
Type: MACRO Will lock a Mutex and automatically unlock it at the end of the scope.
Parameters
mutex(dmMutex::HMutex) - Mutex handle to lock.
dmMutex::Delete
Type: FUNCTION Deletes a HMutex.
Parameters
mutex(dmMutex::HMutex) - Mutex handle to delete.
dmMutex::HMutex
Type: TYPEDEF
typedef struct Mutex* HMutex;
dmMutex::Lock
Type: FUNCTION Lock a HMutex, will block until mutex is unlocked if already locked elsewhere.
Parameters
mutex(dmMutex::HMutex) - Mutex handle to lock.
dmMutex::New
Type: FUNCTION Creates a new HMutex.
Returns
mutex(dmMutex::HMutex) - A new Mutex handle.
dmMutex::TryLock
Type: FUNCTION Tries to lock a HMutex, if mutex is already locked it will return false and continue without locking the mutex.
Parameters
mutex(dmMutex::HMutex) - Mutex handle to lock.
Returns
result(bool) - True if mutex was successfully locked, false otherwise.
dmMutex::Unlock
Type: FUNCTION Unlock a HMutex.
