## Detailed Description

Implements a platform-independent thread management class.

## Member Typedef Documentation

## ◆ pfnThreadProc_t

typedef void(* OpenZWave::Thread::pfnThreadProc_t) (Event *_exitEvent, void *_context)

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ Thread()

Thread::Thread | ( | string const & | _name | ) |

Constructor. Creates a thread object that can be used to serialize access to a shared resource.

## ◆ ~Thread()

Thread::~Thread | ( |  | ) |
| protectedvirtual

Destructor. Destroys the Thread object.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ IsSignalled()

bool Thread::IsSignalled | ( |  | ) |
| protectedvirtual

Used by the Wait class to test whether the thread has been completed.

Implements OpenZWave::Wait.

## ◆ Sleep()

void Thread::Sleep | ( | uint32 | _millisecs | ) |

Causes the thread to sleep for the specified number of milliseconds.

Parameters

  _millisecs | Number of milliseconds to sleep.

## ◆ Start()

bool Thread::Start | ( | pfnThreadProc_t | _pfnThreadProc,
|  | void * | _context
| ) |  |

Start running a function on this thread.
Attempts to start a function running on this thread. The call will fail if another function is already running.

Parameters

  _pThreadProc | pointer to the function to be run. The function must take a single void pointer as its only argument, and return void. On entry, the pointer will be set to the context provided to this Start method.
  _context | pointer allowing any relevant data to be passed to the thread function.

Returns
  True if the function was successfully started.

  Stop, IsRunning

## ◆ Stop()

bool Thread::Stop | ( |  | ) |

Stop a function running on this thread.
Attempts to stop a function running on this thread. The call will fail if no function is running.

Returns
  True if the function was successfully stopped.
