Detailed Description

       A class for managing threads.

       This class provides a portable framework around the tasks of
       instantiating, starting, stopping and joining threads.

       It wraps the underlying native thread-handling toolkit in a transparent
       manner, to make multiplatform threads programming straightforward for
       the application programmer.
