what is mutex?

Answer Posted / nadeem khokhar

A mutex and the binary semaphore are essentially the same. Both can take values: 0 or 1. However, there is a significant difference between them that makes mutexes more efficient than binary semaphores.

A mutex can be unlocked only by the thread that locked it.
