NAME¶

SDL_DestroyMutex - Destroy a mutex created with SDL_CreateMutex().

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <SDL3/SDL_mutex.h>

void SDL_DestroyMutex(SDL_Mutex *mutex);

DESCRIPTION¶

This function must be called on any mutex that is no longer needed. Failure to destroy a mutex will result in a system memory or resource leak. While it is safe to destroy a mutex that is _unlocked_, it is not safe to attempt to destroy a locked mutex, and may result in undefined behavior depending on the platform.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

mutex

the mutex to destroy.

THREAD SAFETY¶

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
