#include <pthread.h>

int
pthread_cond_destroy(pthread_cond_t *cond);

The pthread_cond_destroy() function frees the resources allocated by the condition variable cond.

A condition variable can be destroyed immediately after all the threads that are blocked on it are awakened.

If successful, the pthread_cond_destroy() function will return zero, otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.

The pthread_cond_destroy() function will fail if:

[EINVAL]
	The value specified by cond is invalid.
[EBUSY]
	The variable cond is locked by another thread.

The pthread_cond_destroy() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-96 ("POSIX.1").
