** Description: API to basic reader-writer lock functions of NSS.
40
** These are re-entrant reader writer locks; that is,
41
** If I hold the write lock, I can ask for it and get it again.
42
** If I hold the write lock, I can also ask for and get a read lock.
43
** I can then release the locks in any order (read or write).
44
** I must release each lock type as many times as I acquired it.
45
** Otherwise, these are normal reader/writer locks.
47
** For deadlock detection, locks should be ranked, and no lock may be aquired
48
** while I hold a lock of higher rank number.
49
** If you don't want that feature, always use NSS_RWLOCK_RANK_NONE.
50
** Lock name is for debugging, and is optional (may be NULL)
