sdlTryLockMutex function

bool sdlTryLockMutex(
  1. Pointer<NativeType> arg0,
  2. Pointer<NativeType> arg1
)

Try to lock a mutex without blocking.

This works just like SDL_LockMutex(), but if the mutex is not available, this function returns false immediately.

This technique is useful if you need exclusive access to a resource but don't want to wait for it, and will return to it to try again later.

This function returns true if passed a NULL mutex.

\param mutex the mutex to try to lock. \returns true on success, false if the mutex would block.

\since This function is available since SDL 3.1.3.

      int Function(Pointer<NativeType> arg0,
          Pointer<NativeType> arg1)>('SDL_TryLockMutex');
  return sdlTryLockMutexLookupFunction(arg0, arg1) == 1;
