event_wait_handle() [3/8]

xtd::threading::event_wait_handle::event_wait_handle	(	const string &	name,
		bool &	created_new
	)

Initializes a new instance of the xtd::threading::event_wait_handle class, specifying whether the wait handle is initially signaled if created as a result of this call, whether it resets automatically or manually, the name of a system synchronization event, and a bool variable whose value after the call indicates whether the named system event was created.

Parameters

name

The name, if the synchronization object is to be shared with other processes; otherwise, null or an empty string. The name is case-sensitive. The backslash character () is reserved and may only be used to specify a namespace. For more information on namespaces, see the remarks section. There may be further restrictions on the name depending on the operating system. For example, on Unix-based operating systems, the name after excluding the namespace must be a valid file name.

created_new

When this method returns, contains true if a local event was created (that is, if name is null or an empty string) or if the specified named system event was created; false if the specified named system event already existed. This parameter is passed uninitialized.
