Threading with Mutex
A Mutex is like a C# lock, but it can work across multiple processes. In other words, Mutex can be computer-wide as well as application-wide. A Mutex is a synchronization primitive that can also be used for interprocess synchronization. When two or more threads need to access a shared resource at the same time, the system needs a synchronization mechanism to ensure that only one thread at a time uses the resource. Mutex is a synchronization primitive that grants exclusive access to the shared resource to only one thread. If a thread acquires a Mutex, the second thread that wants to acquire that Mutex is suspended until the first thread releases the Mutex. In short, A mutual exclusion ("Mutex") is a mechanism that acts as a flag to prevent two threads from performing one or more actions simultaneously. The entire action that you want to run exclusively is called a critical section or protected section. A critical section is a piece of code that accesses a shared resource...
