+** File: nsrwlock.h
+** Description: API to basic reader-writer lock functions of NSS.
+** These locks allow re-entry from writers but not readers. 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).
+** If I hold a read lock, I must not ask for another read lock or
+** the write lock.
+** I must release each lock type as many times as I acquired it.
+**
+** 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)
+**/
