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:

      PMutex mutex;

      ...

      mutex.Wait();

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

      mutex.Signal();

      ...

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.
