Inherits: Mutex
The APE Event class implements a feature originally found in the WIN32 API;
event notification. A target thread waits on a resetable Event, and one
or more other threads can then signal the waiting thread to resume
execution. A timeout can be used to specify a wait duration in
milliseconds. The Event class must be reset before it can be used again
as a trigger.
