@section Introduction
The thread manager implements the functionality required of the thread
manager as defined by POSIX 1003.1b-1996. This standard requires that
manager as defined by POSIX 1003.1b. This standard requires that
a compliant operating system provide the facilties to manage multiple
threads of control and defines the API that must be provided.
