Blocks concurrent access to shared resources from multiple threads.
Mutex stands for "MUTual EXclusion".
A mutex is a synchronization object, used when multiple threads are involved.
When you want to protect a part of the code from being accessed simultaneously by multiple threads, you typically use a mutex.
When a thread is locked by a mutex, any other thread trying to lock it will be blocked until the mutex is released by the thread that locked it.
This way, you can allow only one thread at a time to access a critical region of your code.
