# MTLSharedEventHandle

An instance you use to recreate a shareable event.

## Declaration

```swift
class MTLSharedEventHandle
```

## Overview

Overview To create a MTLSharedEventHandle instance, call the makeSharedEventHandle() method on an MTLSharedEvent instance. Use an XPC conection to pass a MTLSharedEventHandle instance to another process. To recreate the event, call the makeSharedEvent(handle:) on an MTLDevice instance.
