Classes
class	AtomicCounter
	The AtomicCounter class offers thread-safe manipulation of an integer counter. atomic counter operation. More...
class	Conditional
	A conditional variable synchcronization object for one to one and one to many signal and control events between processes. conditional. More...
class	Event
	The Event class implements a feature originally found in the WIN32 API; event notification. Thread synchornization on event notification. More...
class	Mutex
	The Mutex class is used to protect a section of code so that at any given time only a single thread can perform the protected operation. Mutex lock for protected access. More...
class	MutexCounter
	The Mutex Counter is a counter variable which can safely be incremented or decremented by multiple threads. Thread protected integer counter. More...
class	MutexLock
	The MutexLock class is used to protect a section of code so that at any given time only a single thread can perform the protected operation. Mutex automatic locker for protected access. More...
class	PosixThread
class	Semaphore
	A semaphore is generally used as a synchronization object between multiple threads or to protect a limited and finite resource such as a memory or thread pool. Semaphore counter for thread synchronization. More...
class	Thread
	Every thread of execution in an application is created by instantiating an object of a class derived from the Thread class. base class used to derive all threads of execution. More...
class	ThreadKey
	This class allows the creation of a thread context unique "pointer" that can be set and retrieved and can be used to create thread specific data areas for implementing "thread safe" library routines. container for thread specific data storage. More...
class	ThreadLock
	The ThreadLock class impliments a thread rwlock for optimal reader performance on systems which have rwlock support, and reverts to a simple mutex for those that do not. Posix rwlock extension for protected access. More...
class	TimerPort
	Timer ports are used to provide synchronized timing events when managed under a "service thread" such as SocketService. synchronized millisecond timing for service threads. More...
