SDL_CreateSemaphore(3) SDL API Reference SDL_CreateSemaphore(3) NAME SDL_CreateSemaphore - Creates a new semaphore and assigns an initial value to it. SYNOPSIS #include "SDL.h" #include "SDL_thread.h" SDL_sem *SDL_CreateSemaphore(Uint32 initial_value); DESCRIPTION SDL_CreateSemaphore() creates a new semaphore and initializes it with the value initial_value. Each locking operation on the semaphore by SDL_SemWait, SDL_SemTryWait or SDL_SemWaitTimeout will atomically decrement the semaphore value. The locking operation will be blocked if the semaphore value is not positive (greater than zero). Each unlock operation by SDL_SemPost will atomically increment the semaphore value. RETURN VALUE Returns a pointer to an initialized semaphore or NULL if there was an er- ror. EXAMPLES SDL_sem *my_sem; my_sem = SDL_CreateSemaphore(INITIAL_SEM_VALUE); if (my_sem == NULL) { return CREATE_SEM_FAILED; } SEE ALSO SDL_DestroySemaphore, SDL_SemWait, SDL_SemTryWait, SDL_SemWaitTimeout, SDL_SemPost, SDL_SemValue SDL Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:00 SDL_CreateSemaphore(3)
