win32-mutex

== 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'

Do not leave out the 'Win32::', otherwise you're using Ruby's Mutex class.

Win32::Mutex.new(false, 'test') do |m| # Do stuff 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.

== Acknowledgements Originally adapted from the Win32::Mutex Perl module.

== Known Bugs
None that I know of. Please log any other bug reports on the project page at https://github.com/djberg96/win32-mutex.
