What is Mutex?

The mutual excretion or mutex object is an object created for use in computer programs. The basic feature of Mutex is to allow a single source thread to take advantage of a single source. In general, the functionality of mutual exclusion objects is to allow this use of a single source by creating an environment in which access to the source is constantly transmitted back and forth between different aspects of the program.

The Mutex activation and creation process is operated when the computer program is opened. The program basically creates a Mutex and connects it with a specific source that is needed for an effective function of the open program. Once sources are induced, the operating system assigns the Mutex unique name and uses it to identify the process until the program remains open.

As soon as the Mutex is activated and named for the session, any other program thread that requires this can have access, although the source is already active use of another fiber. By indicating the source needs, the Mutex function beginsAn alternative approach of the source between threads back and forth. The end user is transparent. For all practical intentions and purposes, two users or two threads seem to make us from the same source at the same time.

While the speed of access transmission is so fast that it is not even visible for the end user, it should be noted that whenever the source is used, it is efficiently locked on one thread in the sequence. Another thread requiring the use of the source will issue a request that goes to the queue and stays there until the first thread is completed by active use. At this point, the source is unlocked and the mutex function allows another fiber in Queue an active approach. If the third fiber is active and needs a resource, the Mutex also straightens this thread to the queue and gives access to a rotating basis.
