+PR_Lock
+=======
+
+Locks a specified lock object.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prlock.h>
+
+ void PR_Lock(PRLock *lock);
+
+
+Parameter
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+:ref:`PR_Lock` has one parameter:
+
+``lock``
+ A pointer to a lock object to be locked.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+When :ref:`PR_Lock` returns, the calling thread is "in the monitor," also
+called "holding the monitor's lock." Any thread that attempts to acquire
+the same lock blocks until the holder of the lock exits the monitor.
+Acquiring the lock is not an interruptible operation, nor is there any
+timeout mechanism.
+
+:ref:`PR_Lock` is not reentrant. Calling it twice on the same thread
+results in undefined behavior.
