13.9 SYS$RELEASE_GALAXY_LOCK This service releases ownership of a galaxy lock. Because a galaxy lock can be acquired multiple times by the same owner (nested ownership), the lock is not released until the ownership count goes to zero. If the lock ownership is com- pletely released and there are other threads waiting for the lock, they are released from their wait states. sys$release_galaxy_lock(handle) size parameter (bytes) type usage handle 8 input by value galaxy lock handle Return status: SS$_IVLOCKID SS$_IVLOCKOP SS$_IVLOCKTBL SS$_NORMAL
