Win32::Mutex - Use Win32 mutex objects from Perl
require Win32::Mutex;
$mutex = Win32::Mutex->new($initial,$name);
$mutex->wait;
This module allows access to the Win32 mutex objects. The wait
method and wait_all & wait_any functions are inherited from the
Win32::IPC module.
- $mutex = Win32::Mutex->new([$initial, [$name]])
-
Constructor for a new mutex object. If
$initial is true, requests
immediate ownership of the mutex (default false). If $name is
omitted, creates an unnamed mutex object.
If $name signifies an existing mutex object, then $initial is
ignored and the object is opened.
- $mutex = Win32::Mutex->
open($name)
-
Constructor for opening an existing mutex object.
- $mutex->release
-
Release ownership of a
$mutex. You should have obtained ownership
of the mutex through new or one of the wait functions. Returns
true if successful.
- $mutex->
wait([$timeout])
-
Wait for ownership of
$mutex. See Win32::IPC.
Win32::Mutex still supports the ActiveWare syntax, but its use is
deprecated.
Create($MutObj,$Initial,$Name)
-
Use
$MutObj = Win32::Mutex->new($Initial,$Name) instead.
Open($MutObj,$Name)
-
Use
$MutObj = Win32::Mutex->open($Name) instead.
- $MutObj->
Release()
-
Use
$MutObj->release instead.
