## Also known as
Mutual Exclusion Lock
Binary Semaphore

## Intent
Create a lock which only allows a single thread to access a resource at any one instant.

![alt text](./etc/mutex.png "Mutex")

## Applicability
Use a Mutex when

* you need to prevent two threads accessing a critical section at the same time
* concurrent access to a resource could lead to a race condition

## Credits

* [Lock (computer science)] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_(computer_science))
* [Semaphores] (http://tutorials.jenkov.com/java-concurrency/semaphores.html)
