Detailed Description

       The Mutex Counter is a counter variable which can safely be incremented
       or decremented by multiple threads.

       A Mutex is used to protect access to the counter variable (an integer).
       An initial value can be specified for the counter, and it can be
       manipulated with the ++ and -- operators.
