37 ** Description: API to basic locking functions of NSPR.
40 ** NSPR provides basic locking mechanisms for thread synchronization. Locks
41 ** are lightweight resource contention controls that prevent multiple threads
42 ** from accessing something (code/data) simultaneously.
48 #include <security_asn1/prtypes.h>
52 /**********************************************************************/
53 /************************* TYPES AND CONSTANTS ************************/
54 /**********************************************************************/
59 * NSPR represents the lock as an opaque entity to the client of the
60 * API. All routines operate on a pointer to this opaque entity.
