pthread_mutex_destroy(3-thr)                   pthread_mutex_destroy(3-thr)

NAME
     pthreadmutexdestroy - deletes a mutex

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pthread.h>

     int pthreadmutexdestroy(pthreadmutext *mutex);

PARAMETERS
     mutex     Mutex to be deleted.

DESCRIPTION
     The pthreadmutexdestroy() routine deletes a mutex and must be called
     when a mutex object is no longer referenced. The effect of calling
     this routine is to reclaim storage for the mutex object.

     It is illegal to delete a mutex that has a current owner (in other
     words, is locked).

     The results of this routine are unpredictable if the mutex object
     specified in the mutex parameter does not currently exist.

RETURN VALUES
     If the function fails, errno may be set to one of the following
     values:

     EBUSY     An attempt was made to destroy a mutex that is locked.

     EINVAL    The value specified by mutex is invalid.

SEE ALSO
     pthreadmutexinit(3-thr), pthreadmutexlock(3-thr),
     pthreadmutextrylock(3-thr), pthreadmutexunlock(3-thr).
