NAME
       lock - General: Contains complex lock-specific information

SYNOPSIS
       The lock data structure is an opaque data structure; that is, its asso‐
       ciated members are referenced and manipulated by the  operating	system
       and not by the user of the complex lock mechanism. Therefore, this ref‐
       erence page omits a description of the lock data structure's associated
       members.

DESCRIPTION
       The  lock  data	structure  is the complex lock structure that contains
       complex lock-specific information. A kernel  module  writer  using  the
       complex	lock  method  declares	a pointer to a lock data structure and
       passes its address to the associated lock routines.

NOTES
       The header file <lock.h>	 shows	typedef	 statements  that  assign  the
       alternate  name	lock_data_t  for the complex lock structure and lock_t
       for a pointer to the complex lock structure.
