free
Declaration
virtual void free();Overview
Mandatory free of the object independent of the current retain count. If the work loop is running, this method will not return until the thread has successfully terminated. Each event source in the chain will be released and the working semaphore will be destroyed.
If the client has some outstanding requests on an event they will never be informed of completion. If an external thread is blocked on any of the event sources they will be awakened with a KERN_INTERUPTED status.
