       Synchronization and threading services.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cc++/config.h>
       #include <cc++/string.h>
       #include <ctime>
       #include <pthread.h>

       #include <signal.h>
       #include <unistd.h>

   Classes
       class ost::Mutex
           The Mutex class is used to protect a section of code so that at any
           given time only a single thread can perform the protected
           operation.
       class ost::MutexLock
           The MutexLock class is used to protect a section of code so that at
           any given time only a single thread can perform the protected
           operation.
       class ost::ThreadLock
           The ThreadLock class impliments a thread rwlock for optimal reader
           performance on systems which have rwlock support, and reverts to a
           simple mutex for those that do not.
       class ost::ReadLock
           The ReadLock class is used to protect a section of code through a
           ThreadLock for read access to the member function.
       class ost::WriteLock
           The WriteLock class is used to protect a section of code through a
           ThreadLock for write access to the member function.
       class ost::MutexCounter
           The Mutex Counter is a counter variable which can safely be
           incremented or decremented by multiple threads.
       class ost::AtomicCounter
           The AtomicCounter class offers thread-safe manipulation of an
           integer counter.
       class ost::Conditional
           A conditional variable synchcronization object for one to one and
           one to many signal and control events between processes.
       class ost::Semaphore
           A semaphore is generally used as a synchronization object between
           multiple threads or to protect a limited and finite resource such
           as a memory or thread pool.
       class ost::SemaphoreLock
           The SemaphoreLock class is used to protect a section of code
           through a semaphore so that only x instances of the member function
           may execute concurrently.
       class ost::Event
           The Event class implements a feature originally found in the WIN32
           API; event notification.
       class ost::Thread
           Every thread of execution in an application is created by
           instantiating an object of a class derived from the Thread class.
       class ost::Cancellation
           A class to automatically set the thread cancellation mode of a
           member function.
       class ost::PosixThread
       class ost::ThreadKey
           This class allows the creation of a thread context unique pointer
           that can be set and retrieved and can be used to create thread
           specific data areas for implementing thread safe library
           routines.
       class ost::TimerPort
           Timer ports are used to provide synchronized timing events when
           managed under a service thread such as SocketService.
       class ost::SysTime
           This class is used to access non-reentrant date and time functions
           in the standard C library.
