NAME

src/tsq.c - Thread-safe queues

DESCRIPTION

pop_entry: Does a synchronized removal of the head entry off the queue and returns it.
peek_entry: This does no locking, so the result might have changed by the time you get the entry, but a synchronized pop_entry() will check again and return NULL if the queue is empty.
nosync_pop_entry: Grab an entry off the queue with no synchronization. Internal only, because it's darned evil and shouldn't be used outside the module. It's in here so we don't have to duplicate pop code.
wait_for_entry: Does a synchronized removal of the head entry off the queue, waiting if necessary until there is an entry, and then returns it.
push_entry: Does a synchronized insertion of entry onto the tail of the queue.
unshift_entry: Does a synchronized insertion of entry into the head of the queue.
nosync_insert_entry: Inserts a timed event according to abstime. The caller has to hold the queue mutex.
insert_entry: Does a synchronized insert of entry.
queue_lock: Locks the queue's mutex.
queue_unlock: Unlocks the queue's mutex.
queue_broadcast: This function wakes up every thread waiting on the queue.
queue_signal: XXX Needs a description
queue_wait: Instructs the queue to wait.
queue_timedwait: Instructs the queue to wait for abs_time seconds (?).
queue_init: Initializes the queue, setting prio as the queue's priority.
queue_destroy: Destroys the queue, raising an exception if it is not empty.
