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