Unlocks the specified mutex.
#include <nks/synch.h>
int NXUnlock (
NXMutex_t *mutex);
(IN) Points to the mutex to unlock.
If successful, returns 0; otherwise, returns a nonzero error code:
No assumptions should be made about the order in which threads waiting for a mutex actually acquire the mutex. The mutex is not guaranteed to be FIFO.
The thread attempting to release the mutex must own the mutex. If a thread attempts to release a mutex it does not own, a warning is asserted.
NXUnlock is a macro unless NDEBUG is defined; otherwise, it consumes NXMutexDepth, a function which should only be used for debugging and which produces an assertion if you attempt to unlock a mutex that you don't currently have locked. In production code, NDEBUG should be defined.
