How to use Mutex in C

[dharmdeep]

Hi Friends,
I have made a client server application in which multiple
clients can interact with server. but when two or more clients get
connected at the same time then memory error occurs. So I think i have
to use some synchronization tecnique to get things working properly. i
thought of using mutex. Can anybody help me with some sample code as
how to use mutex in C under windows.

how to use mutex in C under windows.

That's a question for a Windows programming newsgroup: comp.lang.c
only deals with that which can be programmed using standard C with
no OS extensions.

You asked pretty much the same question a couple of days ago and you'll
still get the same answers today!

Mutexes are part of threading, not part of the C language (which, I
think explicitly, does not understand threads). You'd do better to ask
in a threading newsgroup, or perhaps find a good online or printed
reference.

The principles are simple, but the details will depend on the threading
implementation.
