## Class AbstractOwnableSynchronizer

- java.lang.Object
- - java.util.concurrent.locks.AbstractOwnableSynchronizer

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    AbstractQueuedLongSynchronizer, AbstractQueuedSynchronizer

      public abstract class AbstractOwnableSynchronizer
      extends Object
      implements Serializable

  A synchronizer that may be exclusively owned by a thread. This class provides a basis for creating locks and related synchronizers that may entail a notion of ownership. The `AbstractOwnableSynchronizer` class itself does not manage or use this information. However, subclasses and tools may use appropriately maintained values to help control and monitor access and provide diagnostics.
