mutex_init() function

Pointer to mutex structure

Release ownership of a mutex

Wait for mutex until a specific time Wait until the specific time to take ownership of the mutex. If the caller can be granted ownership of the mutex before the timeout expires, then true will be returned and the caller will own the mutex, otherwise false will be returned and the caller will NOT own the mutex.

Take ownership of a mutex This function will block until the caller can be granted ownership of the mutex. On return the caller owns the mutex

Attempt to take ownership of a mutex until the specified time If the mutex wasn't owned, this method will immediately claim the mutex for the caller and return true. If the mutex is owned by the caller, this method will immediately return false, If the mutex is owned by someone else, this method will try to claim it until the specified time, returning true if it succeeds, or false on timeout

Test for mutex initialized state

Attempt to take ownership of a mutex If the mutex wasn't owned, this will claim the mutex for the caller and return true. Otherwise (if the mutex was already owned) this will return false and the caller will NOT own the mutex.

Wait for mutex with timeout Wait for up to the specific time to take ownership of the mutex. If the caller can be granted ownership of the mutex before the timeout expires, then true will be returned and the caller will own the mutex, otherwise false will be returned and the caller will NOT own the mutex.

Wait for mutex with timeout Wait for up to the specific time to take ownership of the mutex. If the caller can be granted ownership of the mutex before the timeout expires, then true will be returned and the caller will own the mutex, otherwise false will be returned and the caller will NOT own the mutex.
