[edit]

mutex_type* release()noexcept;		(since C++14)

Breaks the association of the associated mutex, if any, and*this.

No locks are unlocked. If the*this held ownership of the associated mutex prior to the call, the caller is now responsible to unlock the mutex.

[edit]Parameters

(none)

[edit]Return value

Pointer to the associated mutex or a null pointer if there was no associated mutex.

[edit]Example

Reason: no example

unlock	unlocks the associated mutex (public member function)[edit]
release	disassociates the associated mutex without unlocking (i.e., releasing ownership of) it (public member function of`std::unique_lock<Mutex>`)[edit]
