:mrdocs:

Attempt to lock this reader‐writer mutex for writing. Immediately return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value if there are active or pending locks on this mutex. If successful, `unlockWrite` or `unlock` must be used to release the lock on this mutex. The behavior is undefined if this method is called from a thread that already has a lock on this mutex.
