/** @file thread.h
    
  Functions for multi-threaded applications using libevent.

  When using a multi-threaded application in which multiple threads
  add and delete events from a single event base, libevent needs to
  lock its data structures.

  A multi-threaded application must provide locking functions to
  libevent via evthread_set_locking_callback().  Libevent will invoke
  this callback whenever a lock needs to be acquired or released.

  The total number of locks employed by libevent can be determined
  via the evthread_num_locks() function.  An application must provision
  that many locks.

  If the owner of an event base is waiting for events to happen,
  libevent may signal the thread via a special file descriptor to wake
  up.   To enable this feature, an application needs to provide a
  thread identity function via evthread_set_id_callback().
