This routine unlocks the global mutex. Because the global mutex is recursive, the unlock occurs when each call to tis_lock_ global() has been matched by a call to this routine. For example, if your program called tis_lock_global() three times, tis_unlock_ global() unlocks the global mutex when you call it the third time. For more information about actions taken when threads are present, refer to the pthread_unlock_global_np() description.
