var mu sync.Mutex // create a new mutex var count int // shared variable to be protected func increment() { mu.Lock() // acquire mutex count++ // increment count mu.Unlock() // release mutex }In this example, the increment() function is protected by the mutex to ensure that updates to the shared variable "count" are thread-safe. The package library used for this example is "sync" which provides synchronization primitives such as Mutex, WaitGroup, and Cond.
