MutexStart (Function) In french: MutexDébut Locks the current thread while waiting for the mutex to be freed. A mutex (Mutual Exclusion) is a critical section that can be specific to an application or shared between multiple applications. A mutex is used to manage an exclusive access to a resource shared between several threads. For example, a mutex can be used to handle a shared memory area. Syntax
<Result> = MutexStart(<Mutex name> [, <Maximum timeout>])
<Result>: Boolean - True if the thread received the authorization to enter into the mutex,
- False otherwise (maximum duration reached).
<Mutex name>: Character string Name of mutex used. If the mutex does not exist, it is created with the default options (see MutexCreate). <Maximum timeout>: Optional integer or optional Duration Maximum timeout in hundredths of a second. At the end of the specified duration, if the thread did not receive the authorization, <Result> is set to False. - If this parameter is not specified or if it corresponds to the Infinite constant, the wait is infinite.
- If this parameter is set to 0, <Result> corresponds to the status of the mutex. The thread is not pending.
This parameter can correspond to: - an integer corresponding to the number of hundredths of a second,
- a Duration variable,
- the duration in a readable format (e.g., 1 s or 10 ms).
