# SDL_Condition

A means to block multiple threads until a condition is satisfied.

## Header File

Defined in [<SDL3/SDL_mutex.h>](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/include/SDL3/SDL_mutex.h)

## Syntax

```c
typedef struct SDL_Condition SDL_Condition;
```

## Remarks

Condition variables, paired with an [SDL_Mutex](SDL_Mutex), let an app halt
multiple threads until a condition has occurred, at which time the app can
release one or all waiting threads.

Wikipedia has a thorough explanation of the concept:
