    What is the lock function?

    What is the lock function I see in CRT source files?

    What do you mean by "CRT source files"? When I google I get lots of Cathode Ray Tube hits, but I don't think that's what you mean.

    Where do you see lock() used? Maybe it locks the screen or something.

    I really don't know what it does.

    Code:
    void __cdecl _lockexit (
            void
            )
    {
            _mlock(_EXIT_LOCK1);
    }
    In crt0dat.c

    It should has something to do with execution mechanism.
