sqlite3_mutex — A mutual exclusion lock

Description

The sqlite3_mutex structure provides an abstract mutual exclusion lock. An application can create its own locks using the sqlite3_mutex_alloc() call, but it is much more common to reference the lock used by the database connection. This lock can be retrieved with the sqlite3_db_mutex() call. Mutex locks are locked and unlocked using the sqlite3_mutex_enter() and sqlite3_mutex_leave() calls.

The sqlite3_mutex structure is opaque, and an application should never access any of the data fields directly.
