Work Step by Step

"Analysis of deadlock has revealed that it cannot occur unless all three of the following conditions are satisfied: 1. There is competition for non-sharable resources. 2.

Once a resource has been allocated, it cannot be forcibly retrieved." The window manager removes the condition that forcible retrieval of resources is forbidden (the third of the 3 conditions).
