Detailed Description

This class defines a thread mutual exclusion object. A mutex is where a piece of code or data cannot be accessed by more than one thread at a time. To prevent this the PMutex is used in the following manner: {verbatim} PMutex mutex;

...

mutex.Wait();

... critical section - only one thread at a time here.

mutex.Signal();

... {verbatim} The first thread will pass through the Wait()# function, a second thread will block on that function until the first calls the Signal()# function, releasing the second thread.
