=head1 NAME APR::ThreadRWLock - Perl API for APR thread read/write locks =head1 Synopsis use APR::ThreadRWLock (); my $mutex = APR::ThreadRWLock->new($r->pool); $mutex->rdlock; $mutex->wrlock; $mutex->tryrdlock; $mutex->trywrlock; $mutex->unlock; =head1 Description C interfaces APR thread read/write locks. See F in your Apache source tree. At the time of this writing these methods are not supported on all platforms. Thus, check your libraries! =head1 API C provides the following functions and/or methods: =head1 Unsupported API C also provides auto-generated Perl interface for a few other methods which aren't tested at the moment and therefore their API is a subject to change. These methods will be finalized later as a need arises. If you want to rely on any of the following methods please contact the L so we can help each other take the steps necessary to shift the method to an officially supported API. =head2 C META: Autogenerated - needs to be reviewed/completed Destroy the lock and free the associated memory. $lock->DESTROY(); =over 4 =item obj: C<$lock> ( C> ) the lock to destroy. =item ret: no return value =item since: subject to change =back =head2 C META: Autogenerated - needs to be reviewed/completed Acquire the read lock for the given lock.
