| int mtx_trylock( mtx_t *mutex ); |
(since C11) | |
Tries to lock the mutex pointed to by mutex without blocking. Returns immediately if the mutex is already locked.
Prior calls to mtx_unlock on the same mutex synchronize-with this operation (if this operation succeeds), and all lock/unlock operations on any given mutex form a single total order (similar to the modification order of an atomic)

thrd_success if successful, thrd_busy if the mutex has already been locked or due to a spurious failure to acquire an available mutex, thrd_error if an error occurs.
