SDL_TryLockMutex - Try to lock a mutex without blocking.
Contents
Availability
This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
Description
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.
Function Parameters
mutex the mutex to try to lock.
