# Struct std::sync::MutexGuard [−] [src]

    #[must_use]
    pub struct MutexGuard<'a, T: ?Sized + 'a> {
        // some fields omitted
    }

An RAII implementation of a "scoped lock" of a mutex. When this structure is dropped (falls out of scope), the lock will be unlocked.

The data protected by the mutex can be access through this guard via its `Deref` and `DerefMut` implementations

## Trait Implementations

### `impl<'a, T: ?Sized> !Send for MutexGuard<'a, T>`

### `impl<'mutex, T: ?Sized> Deref for MutexGuard<'mutex, T>`

#### `type Target = T`

#### `fn deref(&self) -> &T`

### `impl<'mutex, T: ?Sized> DerefMut for MutexGuard<'mutex, T>`

#### `fn deref_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T`

### `impl<'a, T: ?Sized> Drop for MutexGuard<'a, T>`

#### `fn drop(&mut self)`

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize`)
