| This package provides functions to fork threads and |
| wait for their result, whether it's an exception or a |
| normal value. |
| |
| Besides waiting for the termination of a single thread |
| this packages also provides functions to wait for a |
| group of threads to terminate. |
| |
| This package is similar to the |
| @threadmanager@, @async@ and @spawn@ packages. |
| The advantages of this package are: |
| |
| * Simpler API. |
| |
| * More efficient in both space and time. |
| |
| * No space-leak when forking a large number of threads. |
| |
| * Correct handling of asynchronous exceptions. |
| |
| * GHC specific functionality like @forkOn@ and @forkIOWithUnmask@. |
