This class defines a thread synchonisation object. This form of semaphore is used to indicate an event has occurred. A thread may block on theis sync point and wait until another thread signals that it may continue. eg:

    ... thread one
    while (condition) {
      sync.Wait();
      do_something();
    }

    ... thread 2
    do_something_else();
    sync.Signal();    // At this point thread 1 wake up and does something.
    do_yet_more();
