win32-event
Release 0.6.3

The win32-event library provides an interface to Windows event objects. An event object is a synchronization object whose state can be explicitly set to a signaled state. Event objects are useful in sending a signal to a thread indicating that a particular event has occurred.

Documentation

== Description
  Interface to MS Windows Event objects.

== Prerequsites
  Requires the win32-ipc library.
   
== Installation
  gem install win32-event

== Synopsis
  Win32::Event.new("Foo") do |event|
    event.set
    # Do stuff
    event.reset
  end

  e2 = Win32::Event.open("Bar")
  # Do stuff
  e2.close

== Documentation
  The event.rb file contains inline RDoc documentation. If you installed
  this file as a gem, then you have the docs.

== Notes
  The Event 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).

  A PulseEvent() wrapper is intentionally omitted. From the MSDN web site:
  "This function is unreliable and should not be used. It exists mainly for
  backward compatibility."

== Acknowledgements
  The Win32::Event Perl module by Chris Madsen was used as a general
  guideline for developing the API.
    
== Known Bugs
  None that I'm aware of. Please submit any bug reports to the project page
  at https://github.com/djberg96/win32-event.
