Once signaled, the Event class must be "reset" before responding to a new signal. | |
void | signal (void) |
Signal the event for the waiting thread. | |

Wait either for the event to be signaled by another thread or for the specified timeout duration. | |

The Event class implements a feature originally found in the WIN32 API; event notification.
A target thread waits on a resetable Event, and one or more other threads can then signal the waiting thread to resume execution. A timeout can be used to specify a wait duration in milliseconds. The Event class must be reset before it can be used again as a trigger. These event objects use a trigger/reset mechanism and are related to low level conditional variables.
