silc_mutex_alloc

SYNOPSIS

    SilcBool silc_mutex_alloc(SilcMutex *mutex);

DESCRIPTION

Allocates SILC Mutex object. The mutex object must be allocated before it can be used. It is freed by the silc_mutex_free function. This returns TRUE and allocated mutex in to the `mutex' and FALSE on error. If threads support is not compiled in this returns FALSE, but should not be considered as an error.
