+/*==============================================================================
+ * Quagga Pthread Interface -- qpt_xxxx
+ *
+ * Here (and in qpthreads.h) are captured all the pthreads features used in
+ * Quagga.
+ *
+ * This provides:
+ *
+ * * "wrappers" around functions which should not fail, but whose return
+ * code it is best to check... at least in a debug environment.
+ *
+ * * the possibility of a separate no pthreads build where pthread facilities
+ * are either dummied out or otherwise dealt with.
+ *
+ * * the ability to add any work-arounds which may be required if poorly
+ * conforming pthreads implementations are encountered
+ *
+ * Pthread Thread Attributes -- Scheduling
+ * =======================================
+ *
+ * Pthreads defines some useful looking real-time scheduling features.
+ *
+ * One would like to be able to give I/O intensive threads an advantage over
+ * CPU bound threads.
+ *
+ * Unfortunately, conformance allows a system to have its own scheduling
+ * system -- so long as the standard ones are implemented. Further, there is
+ * no way of telling what priority values are reasonable, even in the standard
+ * scheduling policies.
+ *
+ * The approach taken here is that by default a thread will be created with
+ * the system default attributes -- which may mean inheriting the creating
+ * thread's scheduling attributes.
+ *
+ * It is also possible to construct a set of attributes, using the most
+ * obviously useful properties. It is envisaged that this may be used when a
+ * configuration file is used to set locally sensible values. The attributes
+ * supported are:
+ *
+ * * attr_detached -- whether to start detached or not
+ * * attr_inherit_sched -- whether to inherit scheduling attributes
+ * * attr_sched_scope -- scheduling scope
+ * * attr_sched_policy -- scheduling policy
+ * * attr_sched_priority -- scheduling priority
+ *
+ * See qpt_thread_attr_init, below.
+ *
+ * Not supported here are:
+ *
+ * * attr_guardsize
+ * * attr_stack
+ * * attr_stacksize
+ *
+ * Pthread Mutex Attributes -- Error Checking
+ * ==========================================
+ *
+ * Mutexes are kept simple, only attr_type is used, and that by default.
+ *
+ * POSIX defines four types of mutex:
+ *
+ * _NORMAL no ownership check -- owner will deadlock if locks mutex !
+ * -- undefined what happens if unlock
+ * mutex not owned by self !
+ * no recursive locking
+ *
+ * _ERRORCHECK checks for ownership on lock and unlock
+ * no recursive locking
+ *
+ * _RECURSIVE checks for ownership on lock and unlock
+ * counts up locks and counts down unlocks
+ *
+ * This looks useful, but goes wrong with condition variables !
+ *
+ * _DEFAULT undefined whether checks owner or not, on lock and/or unlock.
+ * no recursive locking
+ *
+ * See qpthreads.h for discussion of Quagga's standard type (QPT_MUTEX_TYPE).
+ *
+ * Other attributes are left in their default state:
+ *
+ * * attr_prioceiling -- default undefined
+ * * attr_protocol -- default undefined
+ * * attr_pshared -- defaults to _PROCESS_PRIVATE
+ *
+ * For the time being it is assumed that these are too exotic.
+ *
+ * Pthread Condition Variable Attributes
+ * =====================================
+ *
+ * Condition variables have only two attributes:
+ *
+ * * attr_clock -- which clock to use
+ * * attr_pshared -- defaults to _PROCESS_PRIVATE
+ *
+ * The use a clock other than Quagga's standard (QPT_COND_CLOCK_ID) is possible,
+ * but not recommended. (See qpthreads.h for discussion of this.)
+ */
+
+/*==============================================================================
+ * Thread creation and attributes.
+ *
+ * Threads may be created with a given set of attributes if required.
+ *
+ * qpt_thread_attr_init() will initialise a set of attributes including the
+ * current standard scheduling attributes. It is envisaged that configuration
+ * options may be used to specify these.
+ *
+ * qpt_thread_create() creates a thread using the given attributes. If those
+ * are NULL, then the system defaults are used.
+ */
+
+/* Initialise a set of attributes -- setting the scheduling options.
+ *
+ * Options:
+ *
+ * qpt_attr_joinable -- the default if nothing specified.
+ * qpt_attr_detached -- overrides qpt_attr_joinable.
+ *
+ * qpt_attr_sched_inherit -- all scheduling attributes are to be inherited.
+ * No explicit scheduling attributes may be set.
+ *
+ * qpt_attr_sched_scope -- set explicit, given, scope.
+ * qpt_attr_sched_policy -- set explicit, given, policy
+ * qpt_attr_sched_priority -- set explicit, given, priority
+ *
+ * If none of the _sched_ options are given, then the scheduling attributes are
+ * left to whatever default values the system chooses.
+ *
+ * If the _sched_inherit option is specified, none of the other _sched_ options
+ * may be specified.
+ *
+ * If any of the explicit scheduling options are given, they are set in this
+ * order. If only some of these options are given, then the caller is
+ * assuming that the system will choose sensible defaults.
+ *
+ * The scope, policy and priority arguments are use only if the corresponding
+ * option is specified.
