       simple_lock_init  -  General:  Initializes  a  simple lock
       structure

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

               simple_lock_t slock_ptr );

ARGUMENTS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Specifies a pointer to a simple lock  structure.  You  can
       declare  this simple lock structure by using the decl_simple_lock_data
 routine.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The simple_lock_init routine initializes the  simple  lock
       structure  that you previously declared with the decl_simple_lock_data
 routine. You need to initialize  the  simple
       lock  structure only once. After you initialize the simple
       lock structure, you can call simple_lock to assert  exclusive
 access on the associated resource.
