 * @addtogroup condvars Condition Variables
 * @details This module implements the Condition Variables mechanism. Condition
 *          variables are an extensions to the Mutex subsystem and cannot
 *          work alone.
 *          <h2>Operation mode</h2>
 *          The condition variable is a synchronization object meant to be
 *          used inside a zone protected by a @p Mutex. Mutexes and CondVars
 *          together can implement a Monitor construct.
 * @pre     In order to use the condition variable APIs the @p CH_USE_CONDVARS
 *          option must be enabled in @p chconf.h.
