Async.Condition is async's implementation of the standard notion of a "condition" variable, and is analogous to OCaml's Condition module.

This module is the deferred analog of Core.Or_error.

For most applications one should use Pipe instead of Stream.

A Backpatched value is either a simple value or a "hole", which may or may not have been filled.

Schedule jobs to run at a time in the future.

Settings that globally affect the behavior of async.

A deferred is a value that will become determined asynchronously.

Events is for keeping a set of events that need to happen in the future.

A handler is a continuation that captures the current async execution context.

An ivar is a write-once cell that can be empty or full (i.e.

A Jobs.t has a queue of jobs at each priority level.

A Lazy_deferred.t is a delayed computation that can produce a deferred.

A monitor is a context that determines what to do when there is an unhandled exception.

A pipe is a buffered FIFO communication channel.

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.

A tail is a pointer to the end of a stream that can be used to extend the stream.

A thread pool is a set of OCaml threads used to do work, where each piece of work is simply a thunk.

Throttles for simultaneous computations.
