Function Documentation

void mutexCreate ( Mutex * mutex )

Mutex constructor.

Parameters

mutex output mutex object

void mutexDelete ( Mutex * mutex )

Mutex destructor.

Parameters

mutex mutex object

void mutexLock ( Mutex * mutex )

Locks the mutex.

Parameters

mutex mutex object

void mutexUnlock ( Mutex * mutex )

Unlocks the mutex.

Parameters

mutex mutex object

void semaphoreCreate	(	Semaphore *	semaphore,
		unsigned int	value
	)

Semaphore constructor.

Parameters

semaphore	output semaphore object
value	initial semaphore value

void semaphoreDelete ( Semaphore * semaphore )

Semaphore destructor.

Parameters

semaphore semaphore object

void semaphorePost ( Semaphore * semaphore )

Increases sempahore value.

Parameters

semaphore semaphore object

int semaphoreValue ( Semaphore * semaphore )

Sempahore value getter.

Parameters

semaphore semaphore object

Returns: semaphore value

void semaphoreWait ( Semaphore * semaphore )

Decreses sempahore value or waits.

Current thread waits until semaphore value isn't greater than zero and then decreases the value and continues the execturion.

void threadCancel ( Thread thread )

Cancels the current thread.

Parameters

thread thread object

void threadCreate	(	Thread *	thread,
		void ()(void *)	routine,
		void *	args
	)

Thread constructor.

Parameters

thread	thread output object
*routine	routine that the thread executes
args	arguments passed to the rutine function

void threadCurrent ( Thread * thread )

Thread getter.

Parameters

thread thread output object

void threadJoin ( Thread thread )

Waits for thread to finish.

Parameters

thread thread object

void threadSleep ( unsigned int ms )

Sleeps the current thread.

Parameters

ms	time to force current thread to sleep in milliseconds
