       int unlock_ptr () const
           Unlock this object.
       void use_locks (bool inVal)
           start and stop using locks on this object
       refcount_t nreference () const
           Return the reference count.
       refcount_t reference ()
           Increment the reference count and return the new count.
       refcount_t dereference ()
           Decrement the reference count and return the new count.
       int managed () const
       void unmanage ()
           Turn off the reference counting mechanism for this object.

Detailed Description

       The ThreadLock abstract class provides mutex locks to be used in conjunction with
       ThreadGrp's.

       ThreadLock objects should be locked and unlocked with ThreadLockHolder objects to provide
       exception safety.
