linux - 如何理解互斥锁和条件变量？

下面的代码出自《Unix/Linux编程实践教程》，作用是用两个线程分别统计两个文件的单词的数目，并在主线程中计算总数。下面是运行截图：

但是看了半天还是难以理解下面代码中的加锁、解锁以及条件变量。
我想问：

主线程中调用pthread_cond_wait时会释放互斥锁，然后挂起主线程，并等待条件变量的发生变化，当其他线程调用pthread_cond_signal时，如果互斥锁是被锁住的，那么主线程中的pthread_cond_wait会等互斥待锁被解锁后，然后再给互斥锁上锁后再返回吗？
如果正如１中的描述那样的话，pthread_cond_wait收到了pthread_cond_signal发来的信号，但是未锁定互斥锁之前，又被其他线程抢了先，锁住了互斥锁，那不是pthread_cond_wait还得挂起等待互斥锁被解锁？
如果可以的话，希望能帮助理清一下这个程序的执行流程。

万分感谢。
