Class Description

                                                                      
 TRWLock                                                              
                                                                      
 This class implements a reader/writer lock. A rwlock allows          
 a resource to be accessed by multiple reader threads but only        
 one writer thread.                                                   
                                                                      

 Create reader/write lock.

 Obtain a reader lock. Returns always 0.

 Unlock reader lock. Returns -1 if thread was not locked,
 0 if everything ok.

 Obtain a writer lock. Returns always 0.

 Unlock writer lock. Returns -1 if thread was not locked,
 0 if everything ok.
