std::defer_lock, std::try_to_lock and std::adopt_lock are instances of empty struct tag types std::defer_lock_t, std::try_to_lock_t and std::adopt_lock_t respectively. They are used to specify locking strategy.

Type	Effect(s)
defer_lock_t	do not acquire ownership of the mutex
try_to_t	try to acquire ownership of the mutex without blocking
adopt_lock_t	assume the calling thread already has ownership of the mutex
