Create and initialize a mutex that can be used to synchronize both
processes and threads. Note: There is considerable overhead in using
this API if only cross-process or cross-thread mutual exclusion is
required. See apr_proc_mutex.h and apr_thread_mutex.h for more
specialized lock routines.

Warning : Check APR_HAS_foo_SERIALIZE defines to see if the platform supports
         APR_LOCK_foo.  Only APR_LOCK_DEFAULT is portable.

Params:
  • fname – A file name to use if the lock mechanism requires one.  This
       argument should always be provided.  The lock code itself will
       determine if it should be used.
  • mech – The mechanism to use for the interprocess lock, if any; one of

               APR_LOCK_FCNTL
           APR_LOCK_FLOCK
           APR_LOCK_SYSVSEM
           APR_LOCK_POSIXSEM
           APR_LOCK_PROC_PTHREAD
           APR_LOCK_DEFAULT     pick the default mechanism for the platform

  • pool – the pool from which to allocate the mutex.
Throws:
  • Error – If an error occurred
Returns:Newly created mutex.

Re-open a mutex in a child process.

             determine if it should be used.  This filename should be the

This function must be called to maintain portability, even

Throws:
