Synopsis

A Lock implementation for writer threads. This lock can be acquired only when all holders of the corresponding ReadLock have relinquished the locks. While this lock is held, no other thread may acquire either this lock or the corresponding ReadLock.

public static class ReentrantReadWriteLock.WriteLock implements Lock, Serializable {
// Protected Constructors
     protected WriteLock(ReentrantReadWriteLock lock);  
// Methods Implementing Lock
     public void lock( );  
     public void lockInterruptibly( ) throws InterruptedException;  
     public Condition newCondition( );  
     public boolean tryLock( );  
     public boolean tryLock(long timeout, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit)
        throws InterruptedException;  
     public void unlock( );
