+ * \page NamedLocks Named mutex and read-write locks
+ * \since 13.9.0
+ *
+ * Locking some objects like sorcery objects can be tricky because the underlying
+ * ao2 object may not be the same for all callers. For instance, two threads that
+ * call ast_sorcery_retrieve_by_id on the same aor name might actually get 2 different
+ * ao2 objects if the underlying wizard had to rehydrate the aor from a database.
+ * Locking one ao2 object doesn't have any effect on the other even if those objects
+ * had locks in the first place
+ *
+ * Named locks allow access control by name. Now an aor named "1000" can be locked and
+ * any other thread attempting to lock the aor named "1000" will wait regardless of whether
+ * the underlying ao2 object is the same or not.
+ *
+ * To use a named lock:
+ * Call ast_named_lock_get with the appropriate keyspace and key.
+ * Use the standard ao2 lock/unlock functions as needed.
+ * Call ast_named_lock_put when you're finished with it.
