## Description ### Structure xmlMutex
    Structure xmlMutex
    struct _xmlMutex {
    The content of this structure is not made public by the API.
    }
### Structure xmlRMutex
    Structure xmlRMutex
    struct _xmlRMutex {
    The content of this structure is not made public by the API.
    }
### Function: xmlCleanupThreads
    void	xmlCleanupThreads		(void)
xmlCleanupThreads() is used to to cleanup all the thread related data of the libxml2 library once processing has ended. ### Function: xmlFreeMutex
    void	xmlFreeMutex			(xmlMutexPtr tok)
xmlFreeMutex() is used to reclaim resources associated with a libxml2 token struct.
`tok`: | the simple mutex
### Function: xmlFreeRMutex
    void	xmlFreeRMutex			(xmlRMutexPtr tok)
xmlRFreeMutex() is used to reclaim resources associated with a reentrant mutex.
`tok`: | the reentrant mutex
### Function: xmlGetGlobalState
    xmlGlobalStatePtr	xmlGetGlobalState	(void)
xmlGetGlobalState() is called to retrieve the global state for a thread.
`Returns`: | the thread global state or NULL in case of error
### Function: xmlGetThreadId
    int	xmlGetThreadId			(void)
xmlGetThreadId() find the current thread ID number
`Returns`: | the current thread ID number
### Function: xmlInitThreads
    void	xmlInitThreads			(void)
xmlInitThreads() is used to to initialize all the thread related data of the libxml2 library. ### Function: xmlIsMainThread
    int	xmlIsMainThread			(void)
xmlIsMainThread() check whether the current thread is the main thread.
`Returns`: | 1 if the current thread is the main thread, 0 otherwise
### Function: xmlLockLibrary
    void	xmlLockLibrary			(void)
xmlLockLibrary() is used to take out a re-entrant lock on the libxml2 library. ### Function: xmlMutexLock
    void	xmlMutexLock			(xmlMutexPtr tok)
xmlMutexLock() is used to lock a libxml2 token.
`tok`: | the simple mutex
### Function: xmlMutexUnlock
    void	xmlMutexUnlock			(xmlMutexPtr tok)
xmlMutexUnlock() is used to unlock a libxml2 token.
`tok`: | the simple mutex
### Function: xmlNewMutex
    xmlMutexPtr	xmlNewMutex		(void)
xmlNewMutex() is used to allocate a libxml2 token struct for use in synchronizing access to data.
`Returns`: | a new simple mutex pointer or NULL in case of error
### Function: xmlNewRMutex
    xmlRMutexPtr	xmlNewRMutex		(void)
xmlRNewMutex() is used to allocate a reentrant mutex for use in synchronizing access to data. token_r is a re-entrant lock and thus useful for synchronizing access to data structures that may be manipulated in a recursive fashion.
`Returns`: | the new reentrant mutex pointer or NULL in case of error
### Function: xmlRMutexLock
    void	xmlRMutexLock			(xmlRMutexPtr tok)
xmlRMutexLock() is used to lock a libxml2 token_r.
`tok`: | the reentrant mutex
### Function: xmlRMutexUnlock
    void	xmlRMutexUnlock			(xmlRMutexPtr tok)
xmlRMutexUnlock() is used to unlock a libxml2 token_r.
`tok`: | the reentrant mutex
### Function: xmlUnlockLibrary
    void	xmlUnlockLibrary		(void)
xmlUnlockLibrary() is used to release a re-entrant lock on the libxml2 library. Daniel Veillard
