```
public static long create(String fname,
          int mech,
          long pool)
                   throws Error
```
    Create and initialize a mutex that can be used to synchronize processes.
    Warning : Check APR_HAS_foo_SERIALIZE defines to see if the platform supports APR_LOCK_foo. Only APR_LOCK_DEFAULT is portable.
    Parameters:
    fname - A file name to use if the lock mechanism requires one. This argument should always be provided. The lock code itself will determine if it should be used.
    mech - The mechanism to use for the interprocess lock, if any; one of
    APR_LOCK_FCNTL APR_LOCK_FLOCK APR_LOCK_SYSVSEM APR_LOCK_POSIXSEM APR_LOCK_PROC_PTHREAD APR_LOCK_DEFAULT pick the default mechanism for the platform
    pool - the pool from which to allocate the mutex.
    
    Returns:
    Newly created mutex.
    
    Throws:
    
    Error - An error occurred
  - childInit
```
public static long childInit(String fname,
             long pool)
                      throws Error
```
    Re-open a mutex in a child process. This function must be called to maintain portability, even if the underlying lock mechanism does not require it.
    
    Parameters:
    fname - A file name to use if the mutex mechanism requires one. This argument should always be provided. The mutex code itself will determine if it should be used. This filename should be the same one that was passed to apr_proc_mutex_create().
    pool - The pool to operate on.
    
    Returns:
    Newly opened mutex.
    
    Throws:
    
    Error - An error occurred
  - lock
```
public static int lock(long mutex)
```
    Acquire the lock for the given mutex. If the mutex is already locked, the current thread will be put to sleep until the lock becomes available.
    
    Parameters:
    mutex - the mutex on which to acquire the lock.
    
    Returns:
    the operation status
  - trylock
```
public static int trylock(long mutex)
```
    Attempt to acquire the lock for the given mutex. If the mutex has already been acquired, the call returns immediately with APR_EBUSY. Note: it is important that the APR_STATUS_IS_EBUSY(s) macro be used to determine if the return value was APR_EBUSY, for portability reasons.
    
    Parameters:
    mutex - the mutex on which to attempt the lock acquiring.
    
    Returns:
    the operation status
  - unlock
```
public static int unlock(long mutex)
```
    Release the lock for the given mutex.
    
    Parameters:
    mutex - the mutex from which to release the lock.
    
    Returns:
    the operation status
  - destroy
```
public static int destroy(long mutex)
```
    Destroy the mutex and free the memory associated with the lock.
    
    Parameters:
    mutex - the mutex to destroy.
    
    Returns:
    the operation status
  - lockfile
```
public static String lockfile(long mutex)
```
    Return the name of the lockfile for the mutex, or NULL if the mutex doesn't use a lock file
    
    Parameters:
    mutex - the name of the mutex
    
    Returns:
    the name of the lock file
  - name
```
public static String name(long mutex)
```
    Display the name of the mutex, as it relates to the actual method used. This matches the valid options for Apache's AcceptMutex directive
    
    Parameters:
    mutex - the name of the mutex
    
    Returns:
    the name of the mutex
  - defname
```
public static String defname()
```
    Display the name of the default mutex: APR_LOCK_DEFAULT
    
    Returns:
    the default name
