NSConditionLock Mac OS X 10.0

NSConditionLock is a class that implements the NSLocking protocol and is used to perform thread locks that are associated with specific, user-defined conditions. The idea behind NSConditionLock is that a thread can acquire a lock only if some arbitrary condition has been satisfied. See Chapter 2.
