Reference: IVEShmAcquireMutex

Overview

Locks a mutual exclusion lock, waiting if necessary until the lock becomes available.

Prototype (C)

#include "ive_standards.h"
#include "ive_shm.h"
void IVEShmAcquireMutex(IVEShmMutex* p_mutex);

Prototype (Fortran)

There is no Fortran interface.

Parameters

p_mutex

p_mutex points to the mutex to be locked.

Side effects

Inclusion of ive_standards.h sets certain feature-set macros. It is safest to include it before any other headers to avoid inconsistent definitions.
