+ * @class ACE_RW_Process_Mutex
+ *
+ * @brief Wrapper for readers/writer locks that exist across processes.
+ *
+ * Note that because this class uses the
+ * <ACE_File_Lock> as its implementation it only can be reliably
+ * used between separate processes, rather than threads in the
+ * same process. This isn't a limitation of ACE, it's simply
+ * the file lock semantics on UNIX and Win32.
+ * \todo For systems with pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared one
+ * may consider using them to make the mutex faster.
