NAME

       Coro::RWLock - reader/write locks

SYNOPSIS

        use Coro;

        $lck = new Coro::RWLock;

        $lck->rdlock; # acquire read lock
        $lck->unlock; # unlock lock again

        # or:
        $lck->wrlock; # acquire write lock
        $lck->tryrdlock; # try a readlock
        $lck->trywrlock; # try a write lock

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements reader/write locks. A read can be acquired for read by many
       coroutines in parallel as long as no writer has locked it (shared access). A single write
       lock can be acquired when no readers exist. RWLocks basically allow many concurrent
       readers (without writers) OR a single writer (but no readers).

       You don't have to load "Coro::RWLock" manually, it will be loaded automatically when you
       "use Coro" and call the "new" constructor.

       $l = new Coro::RWLock;
           Create a new reader/writer lock.

       $l->rdlock
           Acquire a read lock.

       $l->tryrdlock
           Try to acquire a read lock.

       $l->wrlock
           Acquire a write lock.

       $l->trywrlock
           Try to acquire a write lock.

       $l->unlock
           Give up a previous "rdlock" or "wrlock".
