= deleteCriticalSection =
== Syntax ==
:{{bool deleteCriticalSection(int hCS)}}
== Arguments ==
:'''hCS'''
::Specifies the handle of the Critical Section to be deleted, as obtained from a call to ((createCriticalSection)).

== Return ==
:This function returns ((true)) immediately after deleting the specified Critical Section. It returns ((false)) if hCS is zero.
== Description ==
:This function deletes a specified Critical Section and releases all system resources that were allocated to it. Any thread can delete the Critical Section, but it must be currently unowned by any thread.  After a Critical Section is deleted, it can no longer be used as a synchronization object until it is recreated by a call to ((createCriticalSection)).

* One need not normally test the return value of '''deleteCriticalSection'''. This is merely a check to make sure that hCS is non-zero so the '''DeleteCriticalSection''' Win32 API won't cause a memory access violation.
