The class timed_mutex provides a non-recursive mutex with exclusive ownership
semantics[.](#1.sentence-1)

If one thread owns a timed_mutex object, attempts by another thread
to acquire ownership of that object will fail (for try_lock()) or block
(for lock(), try_lock_for(), and try_lock_until()) until
the owning thread has released ownership with a call to unlock() or the
call to try_lock_for() or try_lock_until() times out (having
failed to obtain ownership)[.](#1.sentence-2)

The class timed_mutex meets
all of the timed mutex requirements ([[thread.timedmutex.requirements]](thread.timedmutex.requirements "32.6.4.3 Timed mutex types"))[.](#2.sentence-1)

It is a standard-layout class ([[class.prop]](class.prop "11.2 Properties of classes"))[.](#2.sentence-2)

The behavior of a program is undefined if

- [(3.1)](#3.1)

it destroys a timed_mutex object owned by any thread,

- [(3.2)](#3.2)

a thread that owns a timed_mutex object calls lock(),try_lock(), try_lock_for(), or try_lock_until() on that object, or

- [(3.3)](#3.3)

a thread terminates while owning a timed_mutex object[.](#3.sentence-1)
