This call restores normal thread dispatching for the current process.

DosExitCritSec

( )

rc (USHORT) - return

Return code descriptions are:
• NO_ERROR 485
  ERROR_CRITSEC_UNDERFLOW
  Remarks

  A count is maintained of the number of times a DosEnterCritSec request is made without a corresponding DosExitCritSec. The count is incremented by DosEnterCritSec and decremented by DosExitCritSec. Normal thread dispatching is not restored until the count is 0.

  The outstanding DosEnterCritSec count is maintained in a word. If overflow occurs, the count is set to the maximum value, no operation is performed, and the request returns with an error.
