wait
Synopsis
$obj->wait([timeout
])
This method is used on any synchronization object. It waits
for the object to become signaled. It returns 1
if the object is signaled, -1
if the object is an abandoned mutex,
0
if the call times out, and
undef
on error.
timeout
is the time to wait (in
milliseconds). If no timeout
is
specified, the method waits indefinitely.
Win32::IPC also defines the two functions wait_all
and wait_any
.
