Synopsis
void unlock(); (since C++11)

The mutex must be locked by the current thread of execution, otherwise, the behavior is undefined.
This operation synchronizes-with (as defined in std::memory_order) any subsequent lock operation that obtains ownership of the same mutex.
Parameters

Notes
unlock() is usually not called directly: std::unique_lock and std::lock_guard are used to manage exclusive locking.
