The Owner of The Lock

Locks that are acquired for the first time are owned[1]_ by the ``Lock`` instance that acquired

Locks that are acquired for the first time are:ref:`owned<lock-owner-technical-details>` by the ``Lock`` instance that acquired

it. If you need to check whether the current ``Lock`` instance is (still) the owner of

a lock, you can use the ``isAcquired()`` method::

you have to use ``acquire()`` for this. The ``isAcquired()`` method is used to check

if the lock has been acquired by the **current process** only.

..note::

Technically, the true owners of the lock are the ones that share the same instance of ``Key``,

not ``Lock``. But from a user perspective, ``Key`` is internal and you will likely only be working

with the ``Lock`` instance so it's easier to think of the ``Lock`` instance as being the one that

is the owner of the lock.
