InitializeCriticalSection

	VOID InitializeCriticalSection(lpCriticalSection)
	LPCRITICAL_SECTION lpCriticalSection;

A critical section object is initialized using InitializeCriticalSection.

Parameters

lpCriticalSection

Supplies the address of a critical section object to be initialized. It is the callers responsibility to allocate the storage used by a critical section object.

Return Value

This function does not return a value.

Comments

Once a critical section object has been initialized threads within a single process may enter and exit critical sections using the critical section object. A critical section object may not be moved or copied. The application must also not modify the insides of the object, but must treat it as logically opaque.
