** An instance of this structure defines the low-level routines
-** used to allocate and use mutexes. This structure is used as
-** an argument to the [SQLITE_CONFIG_MUTEX] and [SQLITE_CONFIG_GETMUTEX]
-** options of [sqlite3_config()]. The methods defined by this
-** structure implement the following interfaces (respectively):
+** used to allocate and use mutexes.
+**
+** Usually, the default mutex implementations provided by SQLite are
+** sufficient, however the user has the option of substituting a custom
+** implementation for specialized deployments or systems for which SQLite
+** does not provide a suitable implementation. In this case, the user
+** creates and populates an instance of this structure to pass
+** to sqlite3_config() along with the [SQLITE_CONFIG_MUTEX] option.
+** Additionally, an instance of this structure can be used as an
+** output variable when querying the system for the current mutex
+** implementation, using the [SQLITE_CONFIG_GETMUTEX] option.
+**
+** The xMutexInit method defined by this structure is invoked as
+** part of system initialization by the sqlite3_initialize() function.
+** {F17001} The xMutexInit routine shall be called by SQLite once for each
+** effective call to [sqlite3_initialize()].
+**
+** The xMutexEnd method defined by this structure is invoked as
+** part of system shutdown by the sqlite3_shutdown() function. The
+** implementation of this method is expected to release all outstanding
+** resources obtained by the mutex methods implementation, especially
+** those obtained by the xMutexInit method. {F17003} The xMutexEnd()
+** interface shall be invoked once for each call to [sqlite3_shutdown()].
+**
+** The remaining seven methods defined by this structure (xMutexAlloc,
+** xMutexFree, xMutexEnter, xMutexTry, xMutexLeave, xMutexHeld and
+** xMutexNotheld) implement the following interfaces (respectively):
**
** <ul>
-** <li> [sqlite3_mutex_init()] </li>
-** <li> [sqlite3_mutex_alloc()] </li>
-** <li> [sqlite3_mutex_free()] </li>
-** <li> [sqlite3_mutex_enter()] </li>
-** <li> [sqlite3_mutex_try()] </li>
-** <li> [sqlite3_mutex_leave()] </li>
-** <li> [sqlite3_mutex_end()] </li>
-** <li> [sqlite3_mutex_held()] </li>
-** <li> [sqlite3_mutex_notheld()] </li>

+** <li> [sqlite3_mutex_held()] </li>
+** <li> [sqlite3_mutex_notheld()] </li>
** </ul>
+**
+** The only difference is that the public sqlite3_XXX functions enumerated
+** above silently ignore any invocations that pass a NULL pointer instead
+** of a valid mutex handle. The implementations of the methods defined
+** by this structure are not required to handle this case, the results
+** of passing a NULL pointer instead of a valid mutex handle are undefined
+** (i.e. it is acceptable to provide an implementation that segfaults if
+** it is passed a NULL pointer).
