DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       This  routine unlocks the DECthreads global mutex. Because
       the global mutex is recursive, the unlock occurs when each
       call  to  tis_lock_global(3) has been matched by a call to
       this  routine.  For  example,  if  your   program   called
       tis_lock_global(3)   three   times,   tis_unlock_global(3)
       unlocks the global mutex when you call it the third  time.

       For  more information about actions taken when threads are
       present, refer to the pthread_unlock_global_np(3) description.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       If  an  error  condition  occurs,  this routine returns an
       integer value  indicating  the  type  of  error.  Possible
       return  values are as follows: Successful completion.  The
       DECthreads global mutex is unlocked or locked  by  another
       thread.
