# Module Netsys_oothr

    module Netsys_oothr: sig .. end

Object-oriented thread API

Makes the most important multi-threading primitives available using object types. For single-threaded apps, the operations are substituted by no-ops.

    class type mtprovider = object .. end

    class type thread = object .. end

    class type mutex = object .. end

    class type condition = object .. end

    val provider : mtprovider Pervasives.ref

Return the multi-threading provider

    val serialize : mutex -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b

`serialize m f arg`: Locks `m`, runs `f arg`, unlocks `m`, and returns the result.
