;;; Commentary:

;; This module is documented in the Guile Reference Manual.
;; Briefly, one procedure is exported: `%thread-handler';
;; as well as four macros: `make-thread', `begin-thread',
;; `with-mutex' and `monitor'.

;;; Code:

(define-module (ice-9 threads)
  #:use-module (ice-9 futures)
  #:use-module (ice-9 match)
  #:export (begin-thread
            parallel
            letpar
            make-thread
            with-mutex
            monitor

            par-map
            par-for-each
            n-par-map
            n-par-for-each
            n-for-each-par-map
            %thread-handler))
