NAME

       PAPI_lock -

       Lock one of two mutex variables defined in papi.h.

SYNOPSIS

Detailed Description

       PAPI_lock() grabs access to one of the two PAPI mutex variables. This function is provided
       to the user to have a platform independent call to a (hopefully) efficiently implemented
       mutex.

       C Interface:
           #include <papi.h>
           void PAPI_lock(int lock);

       Parameters:
           lock -- an integer value specifying one of the two user locks: PAPI_USR1_LOCK or
           PAPI_USR2_LOCK

       Returns:
           There is no return value for this call. Upon return from PAPI_lock the current thread
           has acquired exclusive access to the specified PAPI mutex.
