(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! SDL2 is the current stable version!)

SDL_Condition

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

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_mutex.h>

Syntax

typedef struct SDL_Condition SDL_Condition;

Remarks

Condition variables, paired with an 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:
