Ns mutex
Man page: http://www.aolserver.com/docs/devel/tcl/api/thread.html#ns_mutex
NAME
- ns_mutex - Operate on mutexes
SYNOPSIS
- ns_mutex option ?arg arg ...?
DESCRIPTION
- This command provides a mechanism to manipulate mutexes. The legal options (which may be abbreviated) are:
- ns_mutex create ?name?
- Initializes a new mutual exclusion (mutex) lock and returns a handle to it. If name is provided the mutex name will be set to this value.
- ns_mutex destroy object
- Destroys the mutex and frees any resources it was using.
- NOTE: The mutex must be unlocked, or else the behavior is undefined and will likely crash the server. Before using this, you should probably look at Implementing a Mutex Pool instead.
- ns_mutex lock object
- Attempt to acquire the mutex lock and block if it is already locked.
- ns_mutex unlock object
- Release a previously acquired mutex lock.
