(synopsis "Fork threads and wait for their result")

(description "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 package also
|
||||
provides functions to wait for a group of threads to terminate. This
|
||||
package is similar to the @code{threadmanager}, @code{async} and
|
||||
@code{spawn} packages. The advantages of this package are:
|
||||
|
||||
@itemize
|
||||
@item Simpler API.
|
||||
@item More efficient in both space and time.
|
||||
@item No space-leak when forking a large number of threads.
|
||||
@item Correct handling of asynchronous exceptions.
|
||||
@item GHC specific functionality like @code{forkOn} and
|
||||
@code{forkIOWithUnmask}.
