.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
A class for managing threads\&.
.PP
This class provides a portable framework around the tasks of instantiating, starting, stopping and joining threads\&. 

It wraps the underlying native thread-handling toolkit in a transparent manner, to make multiplatform threads programming straightforward for the application programmer\&.
