# Standard library header <shared_mutex>

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | header

This header is part of the thread support library.

### Classes
shared_mutex (C++17) | provides shared mutual exclusion facility (class) [edit]
shared_timed_mutex (C++14) | provides shared mutual exclusion facility (class) [edit]
shared_lock (C++14) | implements movable shared mutex ownership wrapper (class template) [edit]
### Functions
std::swap(std::shared_lock) | specialization of std::swap for `shared_lock` (function template) [edit]

### [edit] Synopsis

    namespace std {
        class shared_mutex;
        class shared_timed_mutex;

        template <class Mutex> class shared_lock;

        template <class Mutex>
        void swap(shared_lock<Mutex>& x, shared_lock<Mutex>& y) noexcept;
    }
