# std::latch::count_down

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | thread‎ | latch

void count_down( std::ptrdiff_t n = 1 ); |  | (since C++20)

Atomically decrements the internal counter by `n` without blocking the caller.

If `n` is greater than the value of the internal counter or is negative, the behavior is undefined.

This operation strongly happens-before all calls that are unblocked on this `latch`.

### Parameters

n | - | the value by which the internal counter is decreased

### Return value

(none)

### Exceptions

Throws std::system_error with an error code allowed for mutex types on error.
