condvar_wait
Critical-section function that blocks on a given condition variable. Use this function
to wait for a critical section (specified by a condition variable argument) to become
available. The calling thread is blocked until another thread calls
condvar_notify
with the same condition variable argument. The caller must have entered the
critical section associated with this condition variable before calling
condvar_wait
.
Syntax
void condvar_wait(CONDVAR cv);
Returns
void
Parameters
CONDVAR cv
is a condition variable.

crit_enter
Critical-section function that attempts to enter a critical section. Use this function to
gain ownership of a critical section. If another thread already owns the section, the
calling thread is blocked until the first thread surrenders ownership by calling
crit_exit
.
Syntax

Returns
void
Parameters
CRITICAL crvar
is a critical-section variable.
