mutex

This is used to provide a locking mechanism.

mutex := mutually exclusive flag

• if one thread has the mutex it can execute

• the mutex gets passed to the next thread

• without the mutex the thread cannot run

  A mutex is like a bathroom key at a gas station, ensuring that only one person may use the bathroom at a time AND that no one else may use the toilet until the current occupant is finished and the key is returned. – jonschlinkert https://stackoverflow.com/users/1267639/jonschlinkert Commented Jan 2, 2020 at 17:51 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34524/what-is-a-mutex
