Public Methods

Method	Description
Close ( IntPtr handle ) : void	Closes an existing mutex handle. The mutex is destroyed if this is the last handle.
Create ( [ name, IntPtr &handle ) : bool	Creates or opens a mutex. The mutex will automatically be released once the process terminates.
Open ( [ name ) : bool	Tries to open an existing mutex. Opening a mutex creates an additional handle to it, keeping it alive until the process terminates.
Probe ( [ name ) : bool	Checks whether a specific mutex exists without openining a lasting handle.

Closes an existing mutex handle. The mutex is destroyed if this is the last handle.

This method is called on a platform other than Windows.

public static Close ( IntPtr handle ) : void
handle	System.IntPtr	The mutex handle to be closed.
return	void

Creates or opens a mutex.

The mutex will automatically be released once the process terminates.

The native subsystem reported a problem. This method is called on a platform other than Windows.

public static Create ( [ name, IntPtr &handle ) : bool
name	[	The name to be used as a mutex identifier.
handle	System.IntPtr	The handle created for the mutex. Can be used to close it before the process ends.
return	bool

Tries to open an existing mutex.

Opening a mutex creates an additional handle to it, keeping it alive until the process terminates.

The native subsystem reported a problem. This method is called on a platform other than Windows.

public static Open ( [ name ) : bool
name	[	The name to be used as a mutex identifier.
return	bool

Checks whether a specific mutex exists without openining a lasting handle.

The native subsystem reported a problem. This method is called on a platform other than Windows.

public static Probe ( [ name ) : bool
name	[	The name to be used as a mutex identifier.
return	bool
