SDL_TryLockRWLockForReading - Try to lock a read/write lock _for reading_ without blocking.
Contents
Availability
This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
Description
This works just like SDL_LockRWLockForReading(), but if the rwlock is not available, then this function
returns false immediately.
This technique is useful if you need access to a resource but don't want to wait for it, and will return
to it to try again later.
Trying to lock for read-only access can succeed if other threads are holding read-only locks, as this
won't prevent access.
This function returns true if passed a NULL rwlock.
Function Parameters
rwlock the rwlock to try to lock.
Name
