💅 MCE::Mutex::Channel2

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for MCE::Mutex::Channel2 — that's the one under the MCE::Mu...hannel2(3) header, in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, iykyk. 💖

✨ VERSION ✨

This document describes MCE::Mutex::Channel2 version 1.902. bestie she's got a version number, she's official, she's got receipts. 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

A socket implementation based on MCE::Mutex. 🔌

The secondary lock? You get to it by calling methods with the 2 suffix. that's literally the whole vibe — one mutex, two locks, zero drama. ✨

The API is described in MCE::Mutex. go read that one too, she's the blueprint. 🫶

🧚 construction

• new — makes you a whole new mutex object, and you tell it you want the Channel2 implementation, like this:

my $mutex = MCE::Mutex->new( impl => 'Channel2' );

🔥 primary lock

this is the main character lock. the one without a suffix. the original. 👑

• lock
• lock_exclusive
• lock_shared
• guard_lock
• unlock
• synchronize
• enter
• timedwait

💜 secondary lock

and now… the sequel. every single one of these is just the primary method but with a 2 slapped on the end, and it goes straight to the second lock. no cap. 💅

• lock2
• lock_exclusive2
• lock_shared2 🌈
• guard_lock2
• unlock2
• synchronize2
• enter2
• timedwait2
