## Class Description

     TPosixMutex

     This class provides an interface to the posix mutex routines.

TPosixMutex()

     Create a posix mutex lock.

~TPosixMutex()

     TMutex dtor.

Int_t Lock()

     Lock the mutex.

Int_t TryLock()

     Try locking the mutex. Returns 0 if mutex can be locked.

Int_t UnLock(void)

     Unlock the mutex.
