Initializes a #GMutex so that it can be used.
This function is useful to initialize a mutex that has been allocated on the stack, or as part of a larger structure. It is not necessary to initialize a mutex that has been statically allocated.
|[<!-- language="C" --> typedef struct { GMutex m; ... } Blob;
Blob *b;
b = g_new (Blob, 1); g_mutex_init (&b->m); ]|
To undo the effect of g_mutex_init() when a mutex is no longer needed, use g_mutex_clear().
Calling g_mutex_init() on an already initialized #GMutex leads to undefined behaviour.
