Description

The function condition-variable-signal wakes exactly one thread waiting on the condition-variable condvar. In most uses of condition variables, the caller should be holding the lock that the waiter used when calling condition-variable-wait for condvar, but this is not required. When using the lock, you may prefer to use lock-and-condition-variable-signal.

The return value signaledp is non-nil if a process was signaled, or nil if there were no processes waiting.
