Something similar to WaitForSingleObject in unix/linux

[luftwaffe]

Hello,

What I need to make is a thread what suspends itself and restarts on ocassions when some events happen or so. I was originally wondering to use the WaitForSingleObject inside the thread with an infinite wait loop until event happends, but no idea about unix/linux. Could anybody please tell me how to do this?

Hi, there are some code I wrote for usage...
It can help U

I put 4 source files in one, because I could attach only one here... but I hope U can decide this .

There are 2 mechanizms here:
1) U can use CEvent object to emulate a waitnig process.
2) There are many sync win functions (with the same name like in win api) but with internal part for linux (find WaitForSingleObject()).

Research about semaphores.

I've used them with parent and child process, not sure about their behaviour with threads.

semget(), semctl() and semfree() (not sure about the last one)

You can use sem_init(), sem_wait(), sem_trywait(), and sem_destroy().

I am glad that some code I wrote for own purposes can help someone else
