This header is part of the thread support library.

Classes
shared_mutex (C++17)	provides shared mutual exclusion facility (class)
shared_timed_mutex (C++14)	provides shared mutual exclusion facility and implements locking with a timeout (class)
shared_lock (C++14)	implements movable shared mutex ownership wrapper (class template)
Functions
std::swap(std::shared_lock) (C++14)	specializes the std::swap algorithm (function template)
