# BinkBufferUnlock

The function BinkBufferUnlock unlocks a BinkBuffer that has been locked with BinkBufferLock.

    S32 BinkBufferUnlock(
      HBINKBUFFER bink_buf
    );

#### In Parameters

bink_buf
  Specifies the BinkBuffer handle.

#### Returns

Returns whether the BinkBuffer was successfully unlocked (non-zero) or not (zero).

#### Discussion

This function will unlock a locked BinkBuffer. You must unlock any BinkBuffers that you've locked with the BinkBufferLock function as quickly as possible. If you fail to unlock a BinkBuffer, DirectDraw will usually lock out your display and you'll have to reboot. Note that DirectDraw doesn't allow you to step through a DirectDraw lock, so never single step over a BinkBufferLock call, or your machine will lock up. Always set a breakpoint after the BinkBufferUnlock call, and then just run to the breakpoint.
