+** 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)
+**/
