Brief Description
Interface for Mutexes on MS Windows.
Prerequisites
win32-ipc 0.6.0 or later
Installation
gem install win32-mutex
Synopsis
require 'win32/mutex'
Win32::Mutex.new(false, 'test') do |m|
m.release
end
Documentation
The mutex.rb file contains inline RDoc documentation. If you installed
this file as a gem, then you have the docs.
For an example of win32-mutex in action, look at the example_win32_mutex.rb
file in the 'examples' directory. You can also run the 'examples' rake task.
Notes
The Mutex class is a subclass of Win32::Ipc (win32-ipc). This library
require's the win32-ipc library internally. You don't need to explicitly
call it.
