+ * \brief Concept for thread synchronization.

+ * \anchor CPP_CONCEPTS_MUTEX_ANCHOR
+ *
+ * \ingroup CPP_CONCEPT
+ * \{
+ * \par Description
+ *
+ * The mutex concept is a concept for thread synchronization. It provides a
+ * lock. At any point in time, only one thread can exclusively hold the lock and
+ * the lock is held, until the thread explicitly releases the beforehand
+ * acquired lock.
+ *
+ * \par Requirements
+ * - Let \c Mutex be the mutex type
+ * - Let \c m be an object of type \c Mutex.
+ *
+ * \par Valid Expressions
+ *
+ * <table>
+ *   <tr>
+ *     <th>Expression</th>
+ *     <th>Return type</th>
+ *     <th>Description</th>
+ *   </tr>

+ *     <td>m.TryLock()</td>
+ *     <td>\c bool</td>
+ *     <td>Tries to lock the mutex and immediately returns. Returns \c false, if
+ *     the mutex could not be acquired (locked), otherwise \c true.
+ *   </tr>
+ *   <tr>
+ *     <td>m.Lock()</td>

+ *     is blocked until the mutex is unlocked.</td>
