+/** @brief A classical mutex, but blocking in the simulation world
+ *
+ * It is strictly impossible to use a real mutex (such as
+ * [std::mutex](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/mutex)
+ * or [pthread_mutex_t](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908775/xsh/pthread_mutex_lock.html)),
+ * because it would block the whole simulation.
+ * Instead, you should use the present class, that is a drop-in replacement of
+ * [std::mutex](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/mutex).
+ *
+ * As for any S4U object, Mutexes are using the @ref "RAII idiom" s4u_raii for memory management.
+ * Use createMutex() to get a ::MutexPtr to a newly created mutex and only manipulate ::MutexPtr.
+ *
