30  * This file implements a thread pool for multi-threading applications.  It
31  * consists of two distinct interfaces: thread pools and thread process
32  * queues (a queue of both jobs to-do and of the results of completed jobs).
33  * Do not confuse "process" here with a unix PID; rather it is analogous to a
34  * program reading a stream of data blocks, processing them in some manner,
35  * and outputting a stream of new data blocks.
36  *
37  * The pool of threads is given a function pointer and void* data to pass in.
38  * This means the pool can run jobs of multiple types, albeit first come
39  * first served with no job scheduling except to pick tasks for the
40  * processes that have room to store the result.
41  *
42  * Upon completion, the return value from the function pointer is
43  * added to back to the process result queue if required.  We may have
44  * multiple "processes" in use for the one pool.
45  *
46  * To see example usage, please look at the #ifdef TEST_MAIN code in
47  * thread_pool.c.
