Hinweise

The WSACreateEvent function creates a manual-reset event object with an initial state of nonsignaled. The handle of the event object returned cannot be inherited by child processes. The event object is unnamed.

The WSASetEvent function can be called to set the state of the event object to signaled. The WSAResetEvent function can be called to set the state of the event object to nonsignaled. When an event object is no longer needed, the WSACloseEvent function should be called to free the resources associated with the event object.

Windows Sockets 2 event objects are system objects in Windows environments. Therefore, if a Windows application wants to use an auto-reset event rather than a manual-reset event, the application can call the CreateEvent function directly. The scope of an event object is limited to the process in which it is created.
