#### Declaration [src]

    void
    g_rec_mutex_init (
      GRecMutex* rec_mutex
    )

#### Description [src]

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

This function is useful to initialize a recursive mutex that has been allocated on the stack, or as part of a larger structure.

It is not necessary to initialise a recursive mutex that has been statically allocated.

      typedef struct {
        GRecMutex m;
        ...
      } Blob;

    Blob *b;

    b = g_new (Blob, 1);
    g_rec_mutex_init (&b->m);

Calling `g_rec_mutex_init()` on an already initialized `GRecMutex` leads to undefined behaviour.

To undo the effect of `g_rec_mutex_init()` when a recursive mutex is no longer needed, use g_rec_mutex_clear().
