Detailed Description

Represents an operating system signal that may be used to block thread execution until the signal is sent.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

NSFOSSignal ( NSFString name )

Creates an operating system signal.

Parameters

name	The name of the signal.

void clear ( )

Clears the signal.

This method sets the signal to a non-signaled state, so that the next wait will block until a send is called.

static NSFOSSignal create ( NSFString name )

static

Creates an operating system signal.

Parameters

name	The name of the signal.

This method is included for interface compatibility with other language implementations.

void send ( NSFContext context )

Sends the signal.

Parameters

context The context in which the method is called.

void send ( )

Sends the signal.

bool wait ( )

Waits for signal to be sent.

This method will block the calling thread until the signal is sent. Multiple threads must not wait on the same signal.

bool wait ( Int32 timeout )

Waits for up to timeout milliseconds for a signal to be sent.

Parameters

timeout The maximum number of milliseconds to wait.

This method will block the calling thread until the signal is sent or the timeout occurs. Multiple threads must not wait on the same signal.
