Async_condition
Async.Condition is async's implementation of the standard notion of a "condition" variable, and is analogous to OCaml's Condition module.
Async_gc
Async_or_error
This module is the deferred analog of Core.Or_error.
Async_stream
For most applications one should use Pipe instead of Stream.
Backpatched
A Backpatched value is either a simple value or a "hole", which may or may not have been filled.
Clock
Clock includes functions to create deferreds that become determined at a certain time.
Clock_event
Config
Config has various settings that globally affect the behavior of async.
Debug
Deferred
A deferred is a value that will become determined asynchronously.
Deferred_intf
Deferred_std
Events
Events is for keeping a set of events that need to happen in the future.
Execution_context
Handler
A handler is a continuation that captures the current async execution context.
Import
Ivar
An ivar is a write-once cell that can be empty or full (i.e.
Job
Jobs
A Jobs.t has a queue of jobs at each priority level.
Lazy_deferred
A Lazy_deferred.t is a delayed computation that can produce a deferred.
Monitor
A monitor is a context that determines what to do when there is an unhandled exception.
Pipe
A pipe is a buffered FIFO communication channel.

Scheduler
preserve_execution_context f saves the current execution context and returns a function g such that g a adds a job that runs f a in the saved execution context.
Std
Tail
A tail is a pointer to the end of a stream that can be used to extend the stream.
Test
Thread_pool
A thread pool is a set of OCaml threads used to do work, where each piece of work is simply a thunk.
Throttle
Throttles for simultaneous computations.
