# cnd_wait

From cppreference.com
< c‎ | thread

Defined in header `<threads.h>` |  |
int cnd_wait( cnd_t* cond, mtx_t* mutex ); |  | (since C11)

Atomically unlocks the mutex pointed to by `mutex` and blocks on the condition variable pointed to by `cond` until the thread is signalled by cnd_signal or cnd_broadcast, or until a spurious wake-up occurs. The mutex is locked again before the function returns.

The behavior is undefined if the mutex is not already locked by the calling thread.

### Parameters

cond | - | pointer to the condition variable to block on
mutex | - | pointer to the mutex to unlock for the duration of the block

### Return value

thrd_success if successful, thrd_error otherwise.
