SK_PLUS_NetworkSemaphoreDispose Function

Disposes of a network semaphore, unlocking and deleting the semaphore file.

Remarks

This function is automatically called by SK_PLUS_NetworkSemaphoreOpen to clear any previously opened semaphore on the given context. This is also automatically called by SK_ApiContextDispose to clear any opened semaphore on the context which is being disposed, which prevents memory leaks and helps avoid leaving abandoned semaphore files.

When called directly from your application after SK_PLUS_NetworkSemaphoreCleanup was called without the SK_FLAGS_NETWORK_SEMAPHORE_NOCLEANUPTHREAD flag, the thread created for deleting orphaned semaphore files is terminated.
