GLib.RWLock.init

### Method

# GLib RWLockinit

since: 2.32

#### Declaration

    void
    g_rw_lock_init (
      GRWLock* rw_lock
    )

#### Description

Initializes a `GRWLock` so that it can be used.

This function is useful to initialize a lock that has been allocated on the stack, or as part of a larger structure. It is not necessary to initialise a reader-writer lock that has been statically allocated.

      typedef struct {
        GRWLock l;
        ...
      } Blob;

    Blob *b;

    b = g_new (Blob, 1);
    g_rw_lock_init (&b->l);

To undo the effect of `g_rw_lock_init()` when a lock is no longer needed, use g_rw_lock_clear().

Calling `g_rw_lock_init()` on an already initialized `GRWLock` leads to undefined behaviour.
