+.SH "NAME"
+SDL_SemTryWait \- Attempt to lock a semaphore but don\&'t suspend the thread\&.
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.PP
+\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
+#include "SDL_thread\&.h"
+.sp
+\fBint \fBSDL_SemTryWait\fP\fR(\fBSDL_sem *sem\fR);
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBSDL_SemTryWait\fP is a non-blocking varient of \fI\fBSDL_SemWait\fP\fR\&. If the value of the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR is positive it will atomically decrement the semaphore value and return 0, otherwise it will return \fBSDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT\fR instead of suspending the thread\&.
+.PP
+After \fBSDL_SemTryWait\fP is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to \fISDL_SemPost\fR\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.PP
+Returns \fB0\fR if the semaphore was successfully locked or either \fBSDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT\fR or \fB-1\fR if the thread would have suspended or there was an error, respectivly\&.
+.PP
+If the semaphore was not successfully locked, the semaphore will be unchanged\&.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
