Win32::Mutex
This module provides access to Win32 mutex objects, which control access to
common resources. The new
constructor creates the mutex and determines
its initial availability. It has the following syntax:
$mut = Win32::Mutex->new(init, [name]);
The first argument determines the initial status of the mutex. If init
is
non-zero, the calling process has immediate ownership of the mutex object. A zero
value means that the mutex is available. The second argument assigns a name to
the mutex that allows this object to be referenced by others via the open
function.
Another object constructor for Win32::Mutex is open
:
$mut = Win32::Mutex->open(name);
This call creates a new mutex object to access an existing
mutex identified by name
.
The following methods can be used on Win32::Mutex objects:
