+Try to lock the mutex
+---------------------

+CALLING SEQUENCE:
+    .. code-block:: c
+
+        int rtems_mutex_try_lock(
+          rtems_mutex *mutex
+        );
+
+        int rtems_recursive_mutex_try_lock(
+          rtems_recursive_mutex *mutex
+        );
+
+DESCRIPTION:
+    Tries to lock the ``mutex``. In case the mutex is not locked, it will be
+    locked and the function returns with a return value of ``0``. If the mutex
+    is already locked, the function will return with a value of ``EBUSY``.
+
+NOTES:
+    This function must be called from thread context with interrupts enabled.
+
+    For recursively locking a mutex, please also see the notes for
+    :c:func:`rtems_mutex_lock` and :c:func:`rtems_recursive_mutex_lock`.
+
+    Each mutex lock operation must have a corresponding unlock operation.
