+.SH NAME
+CURLSHOPT_LOCKFUNC - mutex lock callback
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+void lockcb(CURL *handle, curl_lock_data data, curl_lock_access access,
+ void *userptr);
+
+CURLSHcode curl_share_setopt(CURLSH *share, CURLSHOPT_LOCKFUNC, lockcb);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Set a mutex lock callback for the share object, to allow it to get used by
+multiple threads concurrently. There's a corresponding
+\fICURLSHOPT_UNLOCKFUNC(3)\fP callback called when the mutex is again relased.
+
+The \fIlockcb\fP argument must be a pointer to a function matching the
+prototype shown above. The arguments to the callback are:
+
+\fIhandle\fP is the currently active easy handle in use when the share object
+is intended to get used.
+
+The \fIdata\fP argument tells what kind of data libcurl wants to lock. Make
+sure that the callback uses a different lock for each kind of data.
+
+\fIaccess\fP defines what access type libcurl wants, shared or single.
+
+\fIuserptr\fP is the private pointer you set with \fICURLSHOPT_USERDATA\fP.
+This pointer is not used by libcurl itself.
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+All
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.nf
+ CURLSHcode sh
+ share = curl_share_init();
+ sh = curl_share_setopt(share, CURLSHOPT_LOCKFUNC, mutex_lock);
+ if(sh)
+ printf("Error: %s\\n", curl_share_strerror(sh));
+.fi
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.10
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+CURLSHE_OK (zero) means that the option was set properly, non-zero means an
+error occurred. See \fIlibcurl-errors(3)\fP for the full list with
+descriptions.
