+Anonymous Shared Memory
+=======================
+

+
+Anonymous Memory Protocol
+-------------------------
+
+NSPR provides an anonymous shared memory based on NSPR's :ref:`PRFileMap`
+type. The anonymous file-mapped shared memory provides an inheritable
+shared memory, as in: the child process inherits the shared memory.
+Compare the file-mapped anonymous shared memory to to a named shared
+memory described in prshm.h. The intent is to provide a shared memory
+that is accessible only by parent and child processes. ... It's a
+security thing.
+
+Depending on the underlying platform, the file-mapped shared memory may
+be backed by a file. ... surprise! ... On some platforms, no real file
+backs the shared memory. On platforms where the shared memory is backed
+by a file, the file's name in the filesystem is visible to other
+processes for only the duration of the creation of the file, hopefully a
+very short time. This restricts processes that do not inherit the shared
+memory from opening the file and reading or writing its contents.
+Further, when all processes using an anonymous shared memory terminate,
+the backing file is deleted. ... If you are not paranoid, you're not
+paying attention.
+
+The file-mapped shared memory requires a protocol for the parent process
+and child process to share the memory. NSPR provides two protocols. Use
+one or the other; don't mix and match.
+
+In the first protocol, the job of passing the inheritable shared memory
+is done via helper-functions with PR_CreateProcess. In the second
+protocol, the parent process is responsible for creating the child
+process; the parent and child are mutually responsible for passing a
+``FileMap`` string. NSPR provides helper functions for extracting data
+from the :ref:`PRFileMap` object. ... See the examples below.
+
+Both sides should adhere strictly to the protocol for proper operation.
+The pseudo-code below shows the use of a file-mapped shared memory by a
+parent and child processes. In the examples, the server creates the
+file-mapped shared memory, the client attaches to it.

+Atomic Operations Functions
+---------------------------
+
+The API defined for the atomic functions is consistent across all
+supported platforms. However, the implementation may vary greatly, and
+hence the performance. On systems that do not provide direct access to
+atomic operators, NSPR emulates the capabilities by using its own
+locking mechanisms. For such systems, NSPR performs atomic operations
+just as efficiently as the client could. Therefore, to preserve
+portability, it is recommended that clients use the NSPR API for atomic
+operations.

+This chapter describes the functions you use when you work with cached
+monitors. Unlike a plain monitor, a cached monitor is associated with
+the address of a protected object, and the association is maintained
+only while the protection is needed. This arrangement allows a cached
+monitor to be associated with another object without preallocating a
+monitor for all objects. A hash table is used to quickly map addresses
+to their respective monitors. The system automatically enlarges the hash
+table as needed.

+
+Cached monitors allow the client to associate monitoring protection and
+state change synchronization in a lazy fashion. The monitoring
+capability is associated with the protected object only during the time
+it is required, allowing the monitor object to be reused. This
+additional flexibility comes at the cost of a small loss in performance.

+
+Conditions are closely associated with a single monitor, which typically
+consists of a mutex, one or more condition variables, and the monitored
+data. The association between a condition and a monitor is established
+when a condition variable is created, and the association persists for
+its life. In addition, a static association exists between the condition
+and some data within the monitor. This data is what will be manipulated
+by the program under the protection of the monitor.
+
+A call to :ref:`PR_WaitCondVar` causes a thread to block until a specified
+condition variable receives notification of a change of state in its
+associated monitored data. Other threads may notify the condition
+variable when changes occur.

+This chapter describes the date and time functions in NSPR.
+
+NSPR represents time in two ways, absolute time and clock/calendar time.
+NSPR provides types and constants for both representations, and
+functions to convert time values between the two.
+
+- Absolute time representation treats time instants as points along the
+ time line. A time instant is represented by its position on the time
+ line relative to the origin, called the epoch. NSPR defines the epoch
+ to be midnight (00:00:00) 1 January 1970 UTC (Coordinated Universal
+ Time). In this form, time is just a point on the time line. There is
+ no notion of time zone.
+
+- Clock/calendar time, used for human interfaces, represents time in
+ the familiar year, month, day, hour, minute, second components. In
+ this form, the time zone information is important. For example,
+ without specifying the time zone, the time 8:00AM 1 May 1998 is
+ ambiguous. The NSPR data type for clock/calendar time, called an
+ exploded time, has the time zone information in it, so that its
+ corresponding point in absolute time is uniquely specified.
+
+Note that absolute and clock times are not normally used in timing
+operations. For functions that deal with the measurement of elapsed time
+and with timeouts, see `Interval Timing <Interval_Timing>`__.

+Dynamic Library Search
+======================
+
+This section describes NSPR's programming interface to load, unload and
+resolve symbols in dynamic libraries. It also provides a method by which
+to condition symbols of statically linked code so that to other clients
+it appears as though they are dynamically loaded.
+
+.. _Library_Linking_Types:
+
+Library Linking Types
+---------------------
+
+These data types are defined for dynamic library linking:
+
+ - :ref:`PRLibrary`
+ - :ref:`PRStaticLinkTable`
+
+.. _Library_Linking_Functions:
+
+Library Linking Functions
+-------------------------
+
+The library linking functions are:
+
+ - :ref:`PR_SetLibraryPath`
+ - :ref:`PR_GetLibraryPath`
+ - :ref:`PR_GetLibraryName`
+ - :ref:`PR_FreeLibraryName`
+ - :ref:`PR_LoadLibrary`
+ - :ref:`PR_UnloadLibrary`
+ - :ref:`PR_FindSymbol`
+ - :ref:`PR_FindSymbolAndLibrary`
+
+.. _Finding_Symbols_Defined_in_the_Main_Executable_Program:
+
+Finding Symbols Defined in the Main Executable Program
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:ref:`PR_LoadLibrary` cannot open a handle that references the main
+executable program. (This is admittedly an omission that should be
+fixed.) However, it is possible to look up symbols defined in the main
+executable program as follows.
+
+.. code::
+
+ PRLibrary *lib;
+ void *funcPtr;
+
+ funcPtr = PR_FindSymbolAndLibrary("FunctionName", &lib);
+
+When :ref:`PR_FindSymbolAndLibrary` returns, ``funcPtr`` is the value of
+the function pointer you want to look up, and the variable lib
+references the main executable program. You can then call
+:ref:`PR_FindSymbol` on lib to look up other symbols defined in the main
+program. Remember to call ``PR_UnloadLibrary(lib)`` to close the library
+handle when you are done.
+
+.. _Platform_Notes:
+
+Platform Notes
+--------------
+
+To use the dynamic library loading functions on some platforms, certain
+environment variables must be set at run time, and you may need to link
+your executable programs using special linker options.
+
+This section summarizes these platform idiosyncrasies. For more
+information, consult the man pages for ``ld`` and ``dlopen`` (or
+``shl_load`` on HP-UX) for Unix, and the ``LoadLibrary`` documentation
+for Win32.
+
+- `Dynamic Library Search Path <#Dynamic_Library_Search_Path>`__
+- `Exporting Symbols from the Main Executable
+ Program <#Exporting_Symbols_from_the_Main_Executable_Program>`__
+
+Dynamic Library Search Path
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The dynamic library search path is the list of directories in which to
+look for a dynamic library. Each platform has its own standard
+directories in which to look for dynamic libraries, plus a customizable
+list of directories specified by an environment variable.
+
+- On most Unix systems, this environment variable is
+ ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``. These systems typically use ``dlopen`` to load a
+ dynamic library.
+- HP-UX uses ``shl_load`` to load dynamic libraries, and the
+ environment variable specifying the dynamic library search path is
+ ``SHLIB_PATH``. Moreover, the executable program must be linked with
+ the +s option so that it will search for shared libraries in the
+ directories specified by ``SHLIB_PATH`` at run time. Alternatively,
+ you can enable the +s option as a postprocessing step using the
+ ``chatr`` tool. For example, link your executable program a.out
+ without the +s option, then execute the following:
+
+.. code::
+
+ chatr +s enable a.out
+
+- On Rhapsody, the environment variable is ``DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH``.
+- On Win32, the environment variable is ``PATH``. The same search path
+ is used to search for executable programs and DLLs.
+
+.. _Exporting_Symbols_from_the_Main_Executable_Program:
+
+Exporting Symbols from the Main Executable Program
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+On some systems, symbols defined in the main executable program are not
+exported by default. On HP-UX, you must link the executable program with
+the -E linker option in order to export all symbols in the main program
+to shared libraries. If you use the GNU compilers (on any platform), you
+must also link the executable program with the -E option.

+
+A file or directory in a file system is specified by its pathname. NSPR
+uses Unix-style pathnames, which are null-terminated character strings.
+Only the ASCII character set is supported. The forward slash (/)
+separates the directories in a pathname. NSPR converts the slashes in a
+pathname to the directory separator of the native OS--for example,
+backslash (\) on Windows and colon (:) on Mac OS--before passing it to
+the native system calls.
+
+Some file systems also differentiate drives or volumes.

+---------------------------
+
+The memory-mapped I/O functions allow sections of a file to be mapped to
+memory regions, allowing read-write accesses to the file to be
+accomplished by normal memory accesses.
+
+Memory-mapped I/O functions are currently implemented for Unix, Linux,
+Mac OS X, and Win32 only.

+
+Polling Functions
+-----------------
+
+This section describes two of the most important polling functions
+provided by NSPR:
+
+- :ref:`PR_Poll`
+- :ref:`PR_GetConnectStatus`
+
+.. _Pollable_Events:
+
+Pollable Events
+---------------
+
+A pollable event is a special kind of file descriptor. The only I/O
+operation you can perform on a pollable event is to poll it with the
+:ref:`PR_POLL_READ` flag. You cannot read from or write to a pollable
+event.
+
+The purpose of a pollable event is to combine event waiting with I/O
+waiting in a single :ref:`PR_Poll` call. Pollable events are implemented
+using a pipe or a pair of TCP sockets connected via the loopback
+address, therefore setting and/or waiting for pollable events are
+expensive operating system calls. Do not use pollable events for general
+thread synchronization; use condition variables instead.
+
+A pollable event has two states: set and unset. Events are not queued,
+so there is no notion of an event count. A pollable event is either set
+or unset.
+
+- :ref:`PR_NewPollableEvent`
+- :ref:`PR_DestroyPollableEvent`
+- :ref:`PR_SetPollableEvent`
+- :ref:`PR_WaitForPollableEvent`
+
+One can call :ref:`PR_Poll` with the :ref:`PR_POLL_READ` flag on a pollable
+event. When the pollable event is set, :ref:`PR_Poll` returns the the
+:ref:`PR_POLL_READ` flag set in the out_flags.
+
+.. _Manipulating_Layers:
+
+Manipulating Layers
+-------------------
+
+File descriptors may be layered. For example, SSL is a layer on top of a
+reliable bytestream layer such as TCP.
+
+Each type of layer has a unique identity, which is allocated by the
+runtime. The layer implementor should associate the identity with all
+layers of that type. It is then possible to scan the chain of layers and
+find a layer that one recognizes and therefore predict that it will
+implement a desired protocol.
+
+A layer can be pushed onto or popped from an existing stack of layers.
+The file descriptor of the top layer can be passed to NSPR I/O
+functions, which invoke the appropriate version of the I/O methods
+polymorphically.
+
+NSPR defines three identities:
+
+.. code::
+
+ #define PR_INVALID_IO_LAYER (PRDescIdentity)-1
+ #define PR_TOP_IO_LAYER (PRDescIdentity)-2
+ #define PR_NSPR_IO_LAYER (PRDescIdentity)0
+
+- :ref:`PR_INVALID_IO_LAYER`: An invalid layer identify (for error
+ return).
+- :ref:`PR_TOP_IO_LAYER`: The identity of the top of the stack.
+- :ref:`PR_NSPR_IO_LAYER`: The identity for the layer implemented by NSPR.
+
+:ref:`PR_TOP_IO_LAYER` may be used as a shorthand for identifying the
+topmost layer of an existing stack. For example, the following lines of
+code are equivalent:
+
+| ``rv = PR_PushIOLayer(stack, PR_TOP_IO_LAYER, my_layer);``
+| ``rv = PR_PushIOLayer(stack, PR_GetLayersIdentity(stack), my_layer);``
+

+
+File Descriptor Types
+---------------------
+
+NSPR represents I/O objects, such as open files and sockets, by file
+descriptors of type :ref:`PRFileDesc`. This section introduces
+:ref:`PRFileDesc` and related types.
+
+ - :ref:`PRFileDesc`
+ - :ref:`PRIOMethods`
+ - :ref:`PRFilePrivate`
+ - :ref:`PRDescIdentity`
+
+Note that the NSPR documentation follows the Unix convention of using
+the term\ *files* to refer to many kinds of I/O objects. To refer
+specifically to the files in a file system (that is, disk files), this
+documentation uses the term\ *normal files*.
+
+:ref:`PRFileDesc` has an object-oriented flavor. An I/O function on a
+:ref:`PRFileDesc` structure is carried out by invoking the corresponding
+"method" in the I/O methods table (a structure of type :ref:`PRIOMethods`)
+of the :ref:`PRFileDesc` structure (the "object"). Different kinds of I/O
+objects (such as files and sockets) have different I/O methods tables,
+thus implementing different behavior in response to the same I/O
+function call.
+
+NSPR supports the implementation of layered I/O. Each layer is
+represented by a :ref:`PRFileDesc` structure, and the :ref:`PRFileDesc`
+structures for the layers are chained together. Each :ref:`PRFileDesc`
+structure has a field (of type :ref:`PRDescIdentity`) to identify itself in
+the layers. For example, the Netscape implementation of the Secure
+Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol is implemented as an I/O layer on top of
+NSPR's socket layer.

+NSPR defines a platform-dependent type, :ref:`PRIntervalTime`, for timing

+Interval Time Type and Constants
+--------------------------------
+
+All timed functions in NSPR require a parameter that depicts the amount
+of time allowed to elapse before the operation is declared failed. The
+type of such arguments is :ref:`PRIntervalTime`. Such parameters are common
+in NSPR functions such as those used for I/O operations and operations
+on condition variables.
+
+NSPR 2.0 provides interval times that are efficient in terms of
+performance and storage requirements. Conceptually, they are based on
+free-running counters that increment at a fixed rate without possibility
+of outside influence (as might be observed if one was using a
+time-of-day clock that gets reset due to some administrative action).
+The counters have no fixed epoch and have a finite period. To make use
+of these counters, the application must declare a point in time, the
+epoch, and an amount of time elapsed since that **epoch**, the
+**interval**. In almost all cases the epoch is defined as the value of
+the interval timer at the time it was sampled.

+Introduction to NSPR
+====================
+
+The Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) API allows compliant applications
+to use system facilities such as threads, thread synchronization, I/O,
+interval timing, atomic operations, and several other low-level services
+in a platform-independent manner. This chapter introduces key NSPR
+programming concepts and illustrates them with sample code.
+
+NSPR does not provide a platform for porting existing code. It must be
+used from the beginning of a software project.
+
+.. _NSPR_Naming_Conventions:
+
+NSPR Naming Conventions
+-----------------------
+
+Naming of NSPR types, functions, and macros follows the following
+conventions:
+
+- Types exported by NSPR begin with ``PR`` and are followed by
+ intercap-style declarations, like this: :ref:`PRInt`, :ref:`PRFileDesc`
+- Function definitions begin with ``PR_`` and are followed by
+ intercap-style declarations, like this: :ref:`PR_Read``,
+ :ref:`PR_JoinThread``
+- Preprocessor macros begin with the letters ``PR`` and are followed by
+ all uppercase characters separated with the underscore character
+ (``_``), like this: :ref:`PR_BYTES_PER_SHORT`, :ref:`PR_EXTERN`
+
+.. _NSPR_Threads:
+
+NSPR Threads
+------------
+
+NSPR provides an execution environment that promotes the use of
+lightweight threads. Each thread is an execution entity that is
+scheduled independently from other threads in the same process. A thread
+has a limited number of resources that it truly owns. These resources
+include the thread stack and the CPU register set (including PC).
+
+To an NSPR client, a thread is represented by a pointer to an opaque
+structure of type :ref:`PRThread``. A thread is created by an explicit
+client request and remains a valid, independent execution entity until
+it returns from its root function or the process abnormally terminates.
+(:ref:`PRThread` and functions for creating and manipulating threads are
+described in detail in `Threads <Threads>`__.)
+
+NSPR threads are lightweight in the sense that they are cheaper than
+full-blown processes, but they are not free. They achieve the cost
+reduction by relying on their containing process to manage most of the
+resources that they access. This, and the fact that threads share an
+address space with other threads in the same process, makes it important
+to remember that *threads are not processes* .
+
+NSPR threads are scheduled in two separate domains:
+
+- **Local threads** are scheduled within a process only and are handled
+ entirely by NSPR, either by completely emulating threads on each host
+ operating system (OS) that doesn't support threads, or by using the
+ threading facilities of each host OS that does support threads to
+ emulate a relatively large number of local threads by using a
+ relatively small number of native threads.
+
+- **Global threads** are scheduled by the host OS--not by NSPR--either
+ within a process or across processes on the entire host. Global
+ threads correspond to native threads on the host OS.
+
+NSPR threads can also be either user threads or system threads. NSPR
+provides a function, :ref:`PR_Cleanup`, that synchronizes process
+termination. :ref:`PR_Cleanup` waits for the last user thread to exit
+before returning, whereas it ignores system threads when determining
+when a process should exit. This arrangement implies that a system
+thread should not have volatile data that needs to be safely stored
+away.
+
+Priorities for NSPR threads are based loosely on hints provided by the
+client and sometimes constrained by the underlying operating system.
+Therefore, priorities are not rigidly defined. For more information, see
+`Thread Scheduling <#Thread_Scheduling>`__.
+
+In general, it's preferable to create local user threads with normal
+priority and let NSPR take care of the details as appropriate for each
+host OS. It's usually not necessary to create a global thread explicitly
+unless you are planning to port your code only to platforms that provide
+threading services with which you are familiar or unless the thread will
+be executing code that might directly call blocking OS functions.
+
+Threads can also have "per-thread-data" attached to them. Each thread
+has a built-in per-thread error number and error string that are updated
+when NSPR operations fail. It's also possible for NSPR clients to define
+their own per-thread-data. For details, see `Controlling Per-Thread
+Private Data <Threads#Controlling_Per-Thread_Private_Data>`__.
+
+.. _Thread_Scheduling:
+
+Thread Scheduling
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+NSPR threads are scheduled by priority and can be preempted or
+interrupted. The sections that follow briefly introduce the NSPR
+approach to these three aspects of thread scheduling.
+
+- `Setting Thread Priorities <#Setting_Thread_Priorities>`__
+- `Preempting Threads <#Preempting_Threads>`__
+- `Interrupting Threads <#Interrupting_Threads>`__
+
+For reference information on the NSPR API used for thread scheduling,
+see `Threads <Threads>`__.
+
+.. _Setting_Thread_Priorities:
+
+Setting Thread Priorities
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The host operating systems supported by NSPR differ widely in the
+mechanisms they use to support thread priorities. In general, an NSPR
+thread of higher priority has a statistically better chance of running
+relative to threads of lower priority. However, because of the multiple
+strategies to provide execution vehicles for threads on various host
+platforms, priorities are not a clearly defined abstraction in NSPR. At
+best they are intended to specify a preference with respect to the
+amount of CPU time that a higher-priority thread might expect relative
+to a lower-priority thread. This preference is still subject to resource
+availability, and must not be used in place of proper synchronization.
+For more information on thread synchronization, see `NSPR Thread
+Synchronization <#NSPR_Thread_Synchronization>`__.
+
+The issue is further muddied by inconsistent offerings from OS vendors
+regarding the priority of their kernel-supported threads. NSPR assumes
+that the priorities of global threads are not manageable, but that the
+host OS will perform some sort of fair scheduling. It's usually
+preferable to create local user threads with normal priority and let
+NSPR and the host take care of the details.
+
+In some NSPR configurations, there may be an arbitrary (and perhaps
+large) number of local threads being supported by a more limited number
+of **virtual processors** (an internal application of global threads).
+In such situations, each virtual processor will have some number of
+local threads associated with it, though exactly which local threads and
+how many may vary over time. NSPR guarantees that for each virtual
+processor the highest-priority, schedulable local thread is the one
+executing. This thread implementation strategy is referred to as the **M
+x N model.**
+
+.. _Preempting_Threads:
+
+Preempting Threads
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Preemption is the act of taking control away from a ready thread at an
+arbitrary point and giving control to another appropriate thread. It
+might be viewed as taking the executing thread and adding it to the end
+of the ready queue for its appropriate priority, then simply running the
+scheduling algorithm to find the most appropriate thread. The chosen
+thread may be of higher priority, of the same priority, or even the same
+thread. It will not be a thread of lower priority.
+
+Some operating systems cannot be made preemptible (for example, Mac OS
+and Win 16). This puts them at some risk in supporting arbitrary code,
+even if the code is interpreted (Java). Other systems are not
+thread-aware, and their runtime libraries not thread-safe (most versions
+of Unix). These systems can support local level thread abstractions that
+can be made preemptible, but run the risk of library corruption
+(``libc``). Still other operating systems have a native notion of
+threads, and their libraries are thread-aware and support locking.
+However, if local threads are also present, and they are preemptible,
+they are subject to deadlock. At this time, the only safe solutions are
+to turn off preemption (a runtime decision) or to preempt global threads
+only.
+
+.. _Interrupting_Threads:
+
+Interrupting Threads
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+NSPR threads are interruptible, with some constraints and
+inconsistencies.
+
+To interrupt a thread, the caller of :ref:`PR_Interrupt` must have the NSPR
+reference to the target thread (:ref:`PRThread`). When the target is
+interrupted, it is rescheduled from the point at which it was blocked,
+with a status error indicating that it was interrupted. NSPR recognizes
+only two areas where a thread may be interrupted: waiting on a condition
+variable and waiting on I/O. In the latter case, interruption does
+cancel the I/O operation. In neither case does being interrupted imply
+the demise of the thread.
+
+.. _NSPR_Thread_Synchronization:
+
+NSPR Thread Synchronization
+---------------------------
+
+Thread synchronization has two aspects: locking and notification.
+Locking prevents access to some resource, such as a piece of shared
+data: that is, it enforces mutual exclusion. Notification involves
+passing synchronization information among cooperating threads.
+
+In NSPR, a **mutual exclusion lock** (or **mutex**) of type :ref:`PRLock`
+controls locking, and associated **condition variables** of type
+:ref:`PRCondVar` communicate changes in state among threads. When a
+programmer associates a mutex with an arbitrary collection of data, the
+mutex provides a protective **monitor** around the data.
+
+.. _Locks_and_Monitors:
+
+Locks and Monitors
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In general, a monitor is a conceptual entity composed of a mutex, one or
+more condition variables, and the monitored data. Monitors in this
+generic sense should not be confused with the monitor type used in Java
+programming. In addition to :ref:`PRLock`, NSPR provides another mutex
+type, :ref:`PRMonitor`, which is reentrant and can have only one associated
+condition variable. :ref:`PRMonitor` is intended for use with Java and
+reflects the Java approach to thread synchronization.
+
+To access the data in the monitor, the thread performing the access must
+hold the mutex, also described as being "in the monitor." Mutual
+exclusion guarantees that only one thread can be in the monitor at a
+time and that no thread may observe or modify the monitored data without
+being in the monitor.
+
+Monitoring is about protecting data, not code. A **monitored invariant**
+is a Boolean expression over the monitored data. The expression may be
+false only when a thread is in the monitor (holding the monitor's
+mutex). This requirement implies that when a thread first enters the
+monitor, an evaluation of the invariant expression must yield a
+``true``. The thread must also reinstate the monitored invariant before
+exiting the monitor. Therefore, evaluation of the expression must also
+yield a true at that point in execution.
+
+A trivial example might be as follows. Suppose an object has three
+values, ``v1``, ``v2``, and ``sum``. The invariant is that the third
+value is the sum of the other two. Expressed mathematically, the
+invariant is ``sum = v1 + v2``. Any modification of ``v1`` or ``v2``
+requires modification of ``sum``. Since that is a complex operation, it
+must be monitored. Furthermore, any type of access to ``sum`` must also
+be monitored to ensure that neither ``v1`` nor ``v2`` are in flux.
+
+.. note::
+
+ **Note**: Evaluation of the invariant expression is a conceptual
+ requirement and is rarely done in practice. It is valuable to
+ formally define the expression during design, write it down, and
+ adhere to it. It is also useful to implement the expression during
+ development and test it where appropriate. The thread makes an
+ absolute assertion of the expression's evaluation both on entering
+ and on exiting the monitor.
+
+Acquiring a lock is a synchronous operation. Once the lock primitive is
+called, the thread returns only when it has acquired the lock. Should
+another thread (or the same thread) already have the lock held, the
+calling thread blocks, waiting for the situation to improve. That
+blocked state is not interruptible, nor is it timed.
+
+.. _Condition_Variables:
+
+Condition Variables
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Condition variables facilitate communication between threads. The
+communication available is a semantic-free notification whose context
+must be supplied by the programmer. Conditions are closely associated
+with a single monitor.
+
+The association between a condition and a monitor is established when a
+condition variable is created, and the association persists for the life
+of the condition variable. In addition, a static association exists
+between the condition and some data within the monitor. This data is
+what will be manipulated by the program under the protection of the
+monitor. A thread may wait on notification of a condition that signals
+changes in the state of the associated data. Other threads may notify
+the condition when changes occur.
+
+Condition variables are always monitored. The relevant operations on
+conditions are always performed from within the monitor. They are used
+to communicate changes in the state of the monitored data (though still
+preserving the monitored invariant). Condition variables allow one or
+more threads to wait for a predetermined condition to exist, and they
+allow another thread to notify them when the condition occurs. Condition
+variables themselves do not carry the semantics of the state change, but
+simply provide a mechanism for indicating that something has changed. It
+is the programmer's responsibility to associate a condition with the
+state of the data.
+
+A thread may be designed to wait for a particular situation to exist in
+some monitored data. Since the nature of the situation is not an
+attribute of the condition, the program must test that itself. Since
+this testing involves the monitored data, it must be done from within
+the monitor. The wait operation atomically exits the monitor and blocks
+the calling thread in a waiting condition state. When the thread is
+resumed after the wait, it will have reentered the monitor, making
+operations on the data safe.
+
+There is a subtle interaction between the thread(s) waiting on a
+condition and those notifying it. The notification must take place
+within a monitor--the same monitor that protects the data being
+manipulated by the notifier. In pseudocode, the sequence looks like
+this:
+
+.. code::
+
+ enter(monitor);
+ ... manipulate the monitored data
+ notify(condition);
+ exit(monitor);
+
+Notifications to a condition do not accumulate. Nor is it required that
+any thread be waiting on a condition when the notification occurs. The
+design of the code that waits on a condition must take these facts into
+account. Therefore, the pseudocode for the waiting thread might look
+like this:
+
+.. code::
+
+ enter(monitor)
+ while (!expression) wait(condition);
+ ... manipulate monitored data
+ exit(monitor);
+
+The need to evaluate the Boolean expression again after rescheduling
+from a wait may appear unnecessary, but it is vital to the correct
+execution of the program. The notification promotes a thread waiting on
+a condition to a ready state. When that thread actually gets scheduled
+is determined by the thread scheduler and cannot be predicted. If
+multiple threads are actually processing the notifications, one or more
+of them could be scheduled ahead of the one explicitly promoted by the
+notification. One such thread could enter the monitor and perform the
+work indicated by the notification, and exit. In this case the thread
+would resume from the wait only to find that there's nothing to do.
+
+For example, suppose the defined rule of a function is that it should
+wait until there is an object available and that it should return a
+reference to that object. Writing the code as follows could potentially
+return a null reference, violating the invariant of the function:
+
+.. code::
+
+ void *dequeue()
+ {
+ void *db;
+ enter(monitor);
+ if ((db = delink()) == null)
+ {
+ wait(condition);
+ db = delink();
+ }
+ exit(monitor);
+ return db;
+ }
+
+The same function would be more appropriately written as follows:
+
+.. code::
+
+ void *dequeue()
+ {
+ void *db;
+ enter(monitor);
+ while ((db = delink()) == null)
+ wait(condition);
+ exit(monitor);
+ return db;
+ }
+
+.. note::
+
+ **Caution**: The semantics of :ref:`PR_WaitCondVar` assume that the
+ monitor is about to be exited. This assumption implies that the
+ monitored invariant must be reinstated before calling
+ :ref:`PR_WaitCondVar`. Failure to do this will cause subtle but painful
+ bugs.
+
+To modify monitored data safely, a thread must be in the monitor. Since
+no other thread may modify or (in most cases) even observe the protected
+data from outside the monitor, the thread can safely make any
+modifications needed. When the changes have been completed, the thread
+notifies the condition associated with the data and exits the monitor
+using :ref:`PR_NotifyCondVar`. Logically, each such notification promotes
+one thread that was waiting on the condition to a ready state. An
+alternate form of notification (:ref:`PR_NotifyAllCondVar`) promotes all
+threads waiting on a condition to the ready state. If no threads were
+waiting, the notification is a no-op.
+
+Waiting on a condition variable is an interruptible operation. Another
+thread could target the waiting thread and issue a :ref:`PR_Interrupt`,
+causing a waiting thread to resume. In such cases the return from the
+wait operation indicates a failure and definitively indicates that the
+cause of the failure is an interrupt.
+
+A call to :ref:`PR_WaitCondVar` may also resume because the interval
+specified on the wait call has expired. However, this fact cannot be
+unambiguously delivered, so no attempt is made to do so. If the logic of
+a program allows for timing of waits on conditions, then the clock must
+be treated as part of the monitored data and the amount of time elapsed
+re-asserted when the call returns. Philosophically, timeouts should be
+treated as explicit notifications, and therefore require the testing of
+the monitored data upon resumption.

+NSPR Logging
+============
+
+This chapter describes the global functions you use to perform logging.
+NSPR provides a set of logging functions that conditionally write
+``printf()`` style strings to the console or to a log file. NSPR uses
+this facility itself for its own development debugging purposes.
+
+You can select events to be logged by module or level. A module is a
+user-defined class of log events. A level is a numeric value that
+indicates the seriousness of the event to be logged. You can combine
+module and level criteria to get highly selective logging.
+
+NSPR also provides "assert"-style macros and functions to aid in
+application debugging.

+Conditional Compilation and Execution
+-------------------------------------
+
+NSPR's logging facility is conditionally compiled in and enabled for
+applications using it. These controls are platform dependent. Logging is
+not compiled in for the Win16 platform. Logging is compiled into the
+NSPR debug builds; logging is not compiled into the NSPR optimized
+builds. The compile time ``#define`` values ``DEBUG`` or
+``FORCE_PR_LOG`` enable NSPR logging for application programs.
+
+To enable NSPR logging and/or the debugging aids in your application,
+compile using the NSPR debug build headers and runtime. Set one of the
+compile-time defines when you build your application.
+
+Execution-time control of NSPR's logging uses two environment variables.
+These variables control which modules and levels are logged as well as
+the file name of the log file. By default, no logging is enabled at
+execution time.

+memory associated with the name may cause unpredictable results.
+
+Filenames
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The name passed to :ref:`PR_OpenSharedMemory` should be a valid filename
+for a Unix platform. :ref:`PR_OpenSharedMemory` creates file using the name
+passed in. Some platforms may mangle the name before creating the file
+and the shared memory. The Unix implementation may use SysV IPC shared
+memory, Posix shared memory, or memory mapped files; the filename may be
+used to define the namespace. On Windows, the name is significant, but
+there is no file associated with the name.
+
+No assumptions about the persistence of data in the named file should be
+made. Depending on platform, the shared memory may be mapped onto system
+paging space and be discarded at process termination.
+
+All names provided to :ref:`PR_OpenSharedMemory` should be valid filename
+syntax or name syntax for shared memory for the target platform.
+Referenced directories should have permissions appropriate for writing.
+
+.. _Limits_on_Shared_Memory_Resources:
+
+Limits on Shared Memory Resources
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Different platforms have limits on both the number and size of shared
+memory resources. The default system limits on some platforms may be
+smaller than your requirements. These limits may be adjusted on some
+platforms either via boot-time options or by setting the size of the
+system paging space to accommodate more and/or larger shared memory
+segment(s).
+
+.. _Security_Considerations:
+
+Security Considerations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+On Unix platforms, depending on implementation, contents of the backing
+store for the shared memory can be exposed via the file system. Set
+permissions and or access controls at create and attach time to ensure
+you get the desired security.
+
+On Windows platforms, no special security measures are provided.

+ Constants <#Network_Address_Types_and_Constants>`__
+- `Network Address Functions <#Network_Address_Functions>`__
+
+The API described in this chapter recognizes the emergence of Internet
+Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). To facilitate the transition to IPv6, it is
+recommended that clients treat all structures containing network
+addresses as transparent objects and use the functions documented here
+to manipulate the information.
+
+If used consistently, this API also eliminates the need to deal with the
+byte ordering of network addresses. Typically, the only numeric
+declarations required are the well-known port numbers that are part of
+the :ref:`PRNetAddr` structure.

+NSPR_LOG_FILE
+=============

+
+*filespec* is a filename. The exact syntax is platform specific.
+

+Description
+-----------
+
+Use this environment variable to specify a log file other than the
+default. If :ref:`NSPR_LOG_FILE` is not in the environment, then log output
+is written to ``stdout`` or ``stderr``, depending on the platform. Set
+:ref:`NSPR_LOG_FILE` to the name of the log file you want to use. NSPR
+logging, when enabled, writes to the file named in this environment
+variable.
+
+For MS Windows systems, you can set :ref:`NSPR_LOG_FILE` to the special
+(case-sensitive) value ``WinDebug``. This value causes logging output to
+be written using the Windows function ``OutputDebugString()``, which
+writes to the debugger window.

+NSPR_LOG_MODULES
+================
+
+This environment variable specifies which log modules have logging
+enabled.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+::
+
+ moduleName:level[, moduleName:level]*
+
+*moduleName* is the name specified in a
+`:ref:`PR_NewLogModule` <http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/reference/html/prlog.html#25372>`__
+call or one of the handy magic names listed below.
+
+*level* is a numeric value between 0 and 5, with the values having the
+following meanings:
+
+- 0 = PR_LOG_NONE: nothing should be logged
+- 1 = PR_LOG_ALWAYS: important; intended to always be logged
+- 2 = PR_LOG_ERROR: errors
+- 3 = PR_LOG_WARNING: warnings
+- 4 = PR_LOG_DEBUG: debug messages, notices
+- 5: everything!
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Specify a ``moduleName`` that is associated with the ``name`` argument
+in a call to
+`:ref:`PR_NewLogModule` <http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/reference/html/prlog.html#25372>`__
+and a non-zero ``level`` value to enable logging for the named
+``moduleName``.
+
+Special log module names are provided for controlling NSPR's log service
+at execution time. These controls should be set in the
+:ref:`NSPR_LOG_MODULES` environment variable at execution time to affect
+NSPR's log service for your application.
+
+- **all** The name ``all`` enables all log modules. To enable all log
+ module calls to
+ ```PR_LOG`` <http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/reference/html/prlog.html#25497>`__,
+ set the variable as follows:
+
+ ::
+
+ set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=all:5
+
+- **timestamp** Including ``timestamp`` results in a timestamp of the
+ form "2015-01-15 21:24:26.049906 UTC - " prefixing every logged line.
+
+- **append** Including ``append`` results in log entries being appended
+ to the existing contents of the file referenced by NSPR_LOG_FILE. If
+ not specified, the existing contents of NSPR_LOG_FILE will be lost as
+ a new file is created with the same filename.
+
+- **sync** The name ``sync`` enables unbuffered logging. This ensures
+ that all log messages are flushed to the operating system as they are
+ written, but may slow the program down.
+
+- **bufsize:size** The name ``bufsize:``\ *size* sets the log buffer to
+ *size*.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Log everything from the Toolkit::Storage component that happens,
+prefixing each line with the timestamp when it was logged to the file
+/tmp/foo.log (which will be replaced each time the executable is run).
+
+::
+
+ set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=timestamp,mozStorage:5
+ set NSPR_LOG_FILE=/tmp/foo.log
+
+.. _Logging_with_Try_Server:
+
+Logging with Try Server
+-----------------------
+
+- For **mochitest**, edit variable :ref:`NSPR_LOG_MODULES` in
+ ``testing/mochitest/runtests.py`` before pushing to try. You would be
+ able to download the log file as an artifact from the Log viewer.
+- (other tests?)

+This chapter describes the most common NSPR types. Other chapters
+describe more specialized types when describing the functions that use
+them.
+
+- `Calling Convention Types <#Calling_Convention_Types>`__ are used for
+ externally visible functions and globals.
+- `Algebraic Types <#Algebraic_Types>`__ of various lengths are used
+ for integer algebra.
+- `Miscellaneous Types <#Miscellaneous_Types>`__ are used for

+ values.
+
+For information on naming conventions for NSPR types, functions, and
+macros, see `NSPR Naming
+Conventions <Introduction_to_NSPR#NSPR_Naming_Conventions>`__.
+
+.. _Calling_Convention_Types:
+
+Calling Convention Types
+------------------------
+
+These types are used to support cross-platform declarations of
+prototypes and implementations:
+
+ - :ref:`PR_EXTERN` is used for declarations of external functions or
+ variables.
+ - :ref:`PR_IMPLEMENT` is used for definitions of external functions or
+ variables.
+ - :ref:`PR_CALLBACK` is used for definitions and declarations of functions
+ that are called via function pointers. A typical example is a
+ function implemented in an application but called from a shared
+ library.
+
+Here are some simple examples of the use of these types:
+
+.. container:: highlight
+
+ In dowhim.h:
+
+ .. code::
+
+ PR_EXTERN( void ) DoWhatIMean( void );
+
+ static void PR_CALLBACK RootFunction(void *arg);
+
+.. container:: highlight
+
+ In dowhim.c:
+
+ .. code::
+
+ PR_IMPLEMENT( void ) DoWhatIMean( void ) { return; };
+
+ PRThread *thread = PR_CreateThread(..., RootFunction, ...);
+
+.. _Algebraic_Types:
+
+Algebraic Types
+---------------
+
+NSPR provides the following type definitions with unambiguous bit widths
+for algebraic operations:
+
+- `8-, 16-, and 32-bit Integer
+ Types <#8-,_16-,_and_32-bit_Integer_Types>`__
+- `64-bit Integer Types <#64-bit_Integer_Types>`__
+- `Floating-Point Number Type <#Floating-Point_Number_Type>`__
+
+For convenience, NSPR also provides type definitions with
+platform-dependent bit widths:
+
+- `Native OS Integer Types <#Native_OS_Integer_Types>`__
+
+.. _8-.2C_16-.2C_and_32-bit_Integer_Types:
+
+8-, 16-, and 32-bit Integer Types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. _Signed_Integers:
+
+Signed Integers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ - :ref:`PRInt8`

+
+Unsigned Integers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ - :ref:`PRUint8`
+ - :ref:`PRUint16`
+ - :ref:`PRUint32`
+
+.. _64-bit_Integer_Types:
+
+64-bit Integer Types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Different platforms treat 64-bit numeric fields in different ways. Some
+systems require emulation of 64-bit fields by using two 32-bit numeric
+fields bound in a structure. Since the types (``long long`` versus
+``struct LONGLONG``) are not type compatible, NSPR defines macros to
+manipulate 64-bit numeric fields. These macros are defined in
+``prlong.h``. Conscientious use of these macros ensures portability of
+code to all the platforms supported by NSPR and still provides optimal
+behavior on those systems that treat long long values directly.
+
+ - :ref:`PRInt64`
+ - :ref:`PRUint64`
+
+.. _Floating-Point_Number_Type:
+
+Floating-Point Number Type
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The NSPR floating-point type is always 64 bits.
+
+ - :ref:`PRFloat64`
+
+.. _Native_OS_Integer_Types:
+
+Native OS Integer Types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These types are most appropriate for automatic variables. They are
+guaranteed to be at least 16 bits, though various architectures may
+define them to be wider (for example, 32 or even 64 bits). These types
+are never valid for fields of a structure.

+PL_HashTableAdd
+===============
+
+Add a new entry with the specified key and value to the hash table.

+
+ #include <plhash.h>
+
+ PLHashEntry *PL_HashTableAdd(
+ PLHashTable *ht,
+ const void *key,
+ void *value);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``ht``
+ A pointer to the the hash table to which to add the entry.
+``key``
+ A pointer to the key for the entry to be added.
+``value``
+ A pointer to the value for the entry to be added.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+A pointer to the new entry.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Add a new entry with the specified key and value to the hash table.
+
+If an entry with the same key already exists in the table, the
+``freeEntry`` function is invoked with the ``HT_FREE_VALUE`` flag. You
+can write your ``freeEntry`` function to free the value of the specified
+entry if the old value should be freed. The default ``freeEntry``
+function does not free the value of the entry.
+
+:ref:`PL_HashTableAdd` returns ``NULL`` if there is not enough memory to
+create a new entry. It doubles the number of buckets if the table is
+overloaded.

+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+:ref:`PL_NewHashTable` creates a new hash table. The table has at least 16
+buckets. You can pass a value of 0 as ``numBuckets`` to create the
+default number of buckets in the new table. The arguments ``keyCompare``
+and ``valueCompare`` are functions of type :ref:`PLHashComparator` that the
+hash table library functions use to compare the keys and the values of
+entries.
+
+The argument ``allocOps`` points to a ``PLHashAllocOps`` structure that
+must exist throughout the lifetime of the new hash table. The hash table
+library functions do not make a copy of this structure. When the
+allocation functions in ``allocOps`` are invoked, the allocation private
+data allocPriv is passed as the first argument (pool). You can specify a
+``NULL`` value for ``allocOps`` to use the default allocation functions.
+If ``allocOps`` is ``NULL``, ``allocPriv`` is ignored. Note that the
+default ``freeEntry`` function does not free the value of the entry.

+
+ PRFileDesc* PR_Accept(

+ PRIntervalTime timeout);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``fd``
+ A pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` object representing the rendezvous
+ socket on which the caller is willing to accept new connections.
+``addr``
+ A pointer to a structure of type :ref:`PRNetAddr`. On output, this
+ structure contains the address of the connecting entity.
+``timeout``
+ A value of type :ref:`PRIntervalTime` specifying the time limit for
+ completion of the accept operation.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+- Upon successful acceptance of a connection, a pointer to a new
+ :ref:`PRFileDesc` structure representing the newly accepted connection.
+- If unsuccessful, ``NULL``. Further information can be obtained by
+ calling :ref:`PR_GetError`.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The socket ``fd`` is a rendezvous socket that has been bound to an
+address with :ref:`PR_Bind` and is listening for connections after a call
+to :ref:`PR_Listen`. :ref:`PR_Accept` accepts the first connection from the
+queue of pending connections and creates a new socket for the newly
+accepted connection. The rendezvous socket can still be used to accept
+more connections.
+
+If the ``addr`` parameter is not ``NULL``, :ref:`PR_Accept` stores the
+address of the connecting entity in the :ref:`PRNetAddr` object pointed to
+by ``addr``.
+
+:ref:`PR_Accept` blocks the calling thread until either a new connection is
+successfully accepted or an error occurs. If the timeout parameter is
+not ``PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT`` and no pending connection can be accepted
+before the time limit, :ref:`PR_Accept` returns ``NULL`` with the error
+code ``PR_IO_TIMEOUT_ERROR``.

+ ``peerAddr`` points to the address of the remote socket. The
+ :ref:`PRNetAddr` object that ``peerAddr`` points to will be in the
+ buffer pointed to by ``buf``. This parameter is valid only if the
+ function return does not indicate failure.
+``buf``
+ A pointer to a buffer to hold data sent by the peer and the peer's
+ address. This buffer must be large enough to receive ``amount`` bytes
+ of data and two :ref:`PRNetAddr` structures (thus allowing the runtime
+ to align the addresses as needed).
+``amount``
+ The number of bytes of data to receive. Does not include the size of
+ the :ref:`PRNetAddr` structures. If 0, no data will be read from the
+ peer.
+``timeout``
+ The timeout interval only applies to the read portion of the
+ operation. :ref:`PR_AcceptRead` blocks indefinitely until the connection
+ is accepted; the read will time out after the timeout interval
+ elapses.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+- A positive number indicates the number of bytes read from the peer.
+- The value -1 indicates a failure. The reason for the failure can be
+ obtained by calling :ref:`PR_GetError`.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+:ref:`PR_AcceptRead` accepts a new connection and retrieves the newly
+created socket's descriptor and the connecting peer's address. Also, as
+its name suggests, :ref:`PR_AcceptRead` receives the first block of data
+sent by the peer.

+
+The thread object is automatically destroyed when it is no longer
+needed.
+
+You don't need to call :ref:`PR_AttachThread` unless you create your own

+the primordial thread.
+
+.. note::
+
+ **Note**: As of NSPR release v3.0, :ref:`PR_AttachThread` and
+ :ref:`PR_DetachThread` are obsolete. A native thread not created by NSPR
+ is automatically attached the first time it calls an NSPR function,
+ and automatically detached when it exits.
+

+thread not created by NSPR to call :ref:`PR_AttachThread` before it calls
+any NSPR functions, and call :ref:`PR_DetachThread` when it is done calling

+------
+

+ PRMonitor* PR_CEnterMonitor(void *address);
+
+
+Parameter
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameter:
+
+``address``
+ A reference to the data that is to be protected by the monitor. This
+ reference must remain valid as long as there are monitoring
+ operations being performed.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+- If successful, the function returns a pointer to the :ref:`PRMonitor`
+ associated with the value specified in the ``address`` parameter.
+- If unsuccessful (the monitor cache needs to be expanded and the
+ system is out of memory), the function returns ``NULL``.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+:ref:`PR_CEnterMonitor` uses the value specified in the ``address``
+parameter to find a monitor in the monitor cache, then enters the lock
+associated with the monitor. If no match is found, an available monitor
+is associated with the address and the monitor's entry count is
+incremented (so it has a value of one). If a match is found, then either
+the calling thread is already in the monitor (and this is a reentrant
+call) or another thread is holding the monitor's mutex. In the former
+case, the entry count is simply incremented and the function returns. In
+the latter case, the calling thread is likely to find the monitor locked
+by another thread and waits for that thread to exit before continuing.
+
+.. note::
+
+ **Note**: :ref:`PR_CEnterMonitor` and :ref:`PR_CExitMonitor` must be
+ paired--that is, there must be an exit for every entry--or the object
+ will never become available for any other thread.

+
+:ref:`PR_Cleanup` must be called by the primordial thread near the end of

+
+:ref:`PR_Cleanup` attempts to synchronize the natural termination of the

+primordial thread, until all user threads have terminated. When the
+primordial thread returns from ``main``, the process immediately and
+silently exits. That is, the process (if necessary) forcibly terminates
+any existing threads and exits without significant blocking and without
+error messages or core files.

+PR_ClearInterrupt
+=================
+
+Clears the interrupt request for the calling thread.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prthread.h>
+
+ void PR_ClearInterrupt(void);
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Interrupting is a cooperative process, so it's possible that the thread
+passed to :ref:`PR_Interrupt` may never respond to the interrupt request.
+For example, the target thread may reach the agreed-on control point
+without providing an opportunity for the runtime to notify the thread of
+the interrupt request. In this case, the request for interrupt is still
+pending with the thread and must be explicitly canceled. Therefore it is
+sometimes necessary to call :ref:`PR_ClearInterrupt` to clear a previous
+interrupt request.
+
+If no interrupt request is pending, :ref:`PR_ClearInterrupt` is a no-op.

+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``fd``
+ A pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` object representing a socket.
+``addr``
+ A pointer to the address of the peer to which the socket is to be
+ connected.
+``timeout``
+ A value of type :ref:`PRIntervalTime` specifying the time limit for

+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+- Upon successful completion of connection setup, ``PR_SUCCESS``.
+- If unsuccessful, ``PR_FAILURE``. Further information can be obtained
+ by calling :ref:`PR_GetError`.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+:ref:`PR_Connect` is usually invoked on a TCP socket, but it may also be
+invoked on a UDP socket. Both cases are discussed here.
+
+If the socket is a TCP socket, :ref:`PR_Connect` establishes a TCP
+connection to the peer. If the socket is not bound, it will be bound to
+an arbitrary local address.
+
+:ref:`PR_Connect` blocks until either the connection is successfully
+established or an error occurs. The function uses the lesser of the
+provided timeout and the OS's connect timeout. In particular, if you
+specify ``PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT`` as the timeout, the OS's connection
+time limit will be used.
+
+If the socket is a UDP socket, there is no connection setup to speak of,
+since UDP is connectionless. If :ref:`PR_Connect` is invoked on a UDP
+socket, it has an overloaded meaning: :ref:`PR_Connect` merely saves the
+specified address as the default peer address for the socket, so that
+subsequently one can send and receive datagrams from the socket using
+:ref:`PR_Send` and :ref:`PR_Recv` instead of the usual :ref:`PR_SendTo` and
+:ref:`PR_RecvFrom`.

+``state``
+ Specifies whether the thread is joinable (``PR_JOINABLE_THREAD``) or
+ unjoinable (``PR_UNJOINABLE_THREAD``).
+``stackSize``
+ Specifies your preference for the size of the stack, in bytes,
+ associated with the newly created thread. If you pass zero in this
+ parameter, :ref:`PR_CreateThread` chooses the most favorable
+ machine-specific stack size.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+- If successful, a pointer to the new thread. This pointer remains
+ valid until the thread returns from its root function.
+- If unsuccessful, (for example, if system resources are unavailable),
+ ``NULL``.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+If you want the thread to start up waiting for the creator to do
+something, enter a lock before creating the thread and then have the
+thread's root function enter and exit the same lock. When you are ready
+for the thread to run, exit the lock. For more information on locks and
+thread synchronization, see `Introduction to
+NSPR <Introduction_to_NSPR>`__.
+
+If you want to detect the completion of the created thread, make it
+joinable. You can then use :ref:`PR_JoinThread` to synchronize the
+termination of another thread.

+PR_CWait
+========
+
+Wait for a notification that a monitor's state has changed.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prcmon.h>
+
+ PRStatus PR_CWait(
+ void *address,
+ PRIntervalTime timeout);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``address``
+ The address of the protected object--the same address previously
+ passed to :ref:`PR_CEnterMonitor`.
+``timeout``
+ The amount of time (in :ref:`PRIntervalTime` units) that the thread is
+ willing to wait for an explicit notification before being
+ rescheduled. If you specify ``PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT``, the function
+ returns if and only if the object is notified.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+ - :ref:`PR_SUCCESS` indicates either that the monitored object has been
+ notified or that the interval specified in the timeout parameter has
+ been exceeded.
+ - :ref:`PR_FAILURE` indicates either that the monitor could not be located
+ in the cache or that the monitor was located and the calling thread
+ was not the thread that held the monitor's mutex.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Using the value specified in the ``address`` parameter to find a monitor
+in the monitor cache, :ref:`PR_CWait` waits for a notification that the
+monitor's state has changed. While the thread is waiting, it exits the
+monitor (just as if it had called :ref:`PR_CExitMonitor` as many times as
+it had called :ref:`PR_CEnterMonitor`). When the wait has finished, the
+thread regains control of the monitor's lock with the same entry count
+as before the wait began.
+
+The thread waiting on the monitor resumes execution when the monitor is
+notified (assuming the thread is the next in line to receive the notify)
+or when the interval specified in the ``timeout`` parameter has been
+exceeded. When the thread resumes execution, it is the caller's
+responsibility to test the state of the monitored data to determine the
+appropriate action.

+-----------
+
+This function converts the specified floating point number to a string,

+``0``
+ Shortest string that yields ``d`` when read in and rounded to
+ nearest.
+``1``
+ Like 0, but with Steele & White stopping rule. For example, with IEEE

+ 9.999999999999999e22.
+``2``
+ ``max(1, ndigits)`` significant digits. This gives a return value
+ similar to that of ``ecvt``, except that trailing zeros are
+ suppressed.
+``3``
+ Through ``ndigits`` past the decimal point. This gives a return value
+ similar to that from ``fcvt``, except that trailing zeros are
+ suppressed, and ``ndigits`` can be negative.
+``4,5,8,9``
+ Same as modes 2 and 3, but using\ *left to right* digit generation.
+``6-9``
+ Same as modes 2 and 3, but do not try fast floating-point estimate
+ (if applicable).
+``all others``
+ Treated as mode 2.
+
+Upon return, the buffer specified by ``buf`` and ``bufsz`` contains the
+converted string. Trailing zeros are suppressed. Sufficient space is
+allocated to the return value to hold the suppressed trailing zeros.
+
+If the input parameter ``d`` is\ *+Infinity*,\ *-Infinity* or\ *NAN*,

+
+:ref:`PR_GetRandomNoise` provides a random value, depending on platform.
+The length of the random value is dependent on the platform and its

+
+:ref:`PR_GetRandomNoise` is intended to provide a "seed" value for a

+as nondeterministic as the underlying platform permits.

+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prio.h>
+
+ PRFileDesc* PR_GetSpecialFD(PRSpecialFD id);
+
+
+Parameter
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameter:
+
+``id``
+ A pointer to an enumerator of type ``PRSpecialFD``, indicating the
+ type of I/O stream desired: ``PR_StandardInput``,
+ ``PR_StandardOutput``, or ``PR_StandardError``.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+If the ``id`` parameter is valid, :ref:`PR_GetSpecialFD` returns a file
+descriptor that represents the corresponding standard I/O stream.
+Otherwise, :ref:`PR_GetSpecialFD` returns ``NULL`` and sets the error to
+``PR_INVALID_ARGUMENT_ERROR``.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Type ``PRSpecialFD`` is defined as follows:
+
+.. code::
+
+ typedef enum PRSpecialFD{
+ PR_StandardInput,
+ PR_StandardOutput,
+ PR_StandardError
+ } PRSpecialFD;
+
+``#define PR_STDIN PR_GetSpecialFD(PR_StandardInput)``
+``#define PR_STDOUT PR_GetSpecialFD(PR_StandardOutput)``
+``#define PR_STDERR PR_GetSpecialFD(PR_StandardError)``
+
+File descriptors returned by :ref:`PR_GetSpecialFD` are owned by the
+runtime and should not be closed by the caller.

+PR_ImportTCPSocket
+==================
+
+Imports a native TCP socket into NSPR.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include "private/pprio.h"
+
+ PRFileDesc* PR_ImportTCPSocket(PROsfd osfd);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``osfd``
+ The native file descriptor for the TCP socket to import. On POSIX
+ systems, this is an ``int``. On Windows, this is a ``SOCKET``.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+- Upon successful completion, a pointer to the :ref:`PRFileDesc` object
+ created for the newly imported native TCP socket.
+- If the import of the native TCP socket failed, ``NULL``.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+A native TCP socket ``osfd`` can be imported into NSPR with
+:ref:`PR_ImportTCPSocket`. The caller gives up control of the native TCP
+socket ``osfd`` and should use the ``PRFileDesc*`` returned by
+:ref:`PR_ImportTCPSocket` instead.
+
+Although :ref:`PR_ImportTCPSocket` is a supported function, it is declared
+in ``"private/pprio.h"`` to stress the fact that this function depends
+on the internals of the NSPR implementation. The caller needs to
+understand what NSPR will do to the native file descriptor and make sure
+that NSPR can use the native file descriptor successfully.
+
+For example, on POSIX systems, NSPR will put the native file descriptor
+(an ``int``) in non-blocking mode by calling ``fcntl`` to set the
+``O_NONBLOCK`` file status flag on the native file descriptor, and then
+NSPR will call socket functions such as ``recv``, ``send``, and ``poll``
+on the native file descriptor. The caller must not do anything to the
+native file descriptor before the :ref:`PR_ImportTCPSocket` call that will
+prevent the native file descriptor from working in non-blocking mode.
+
+Warning
+-------
+
+In theory, code that uses :ref:`PR_ImportTCPSocket` may break when NSPR's
+implementation changes. In practice, this is unlikely to happen because
+NSPR's implementation has been stable for years and because of NSPR's
+strong commitment to backward compatibility. Using
+:ref:`PR_ImportTCPSocket` is much more convenient than writing an NSPR I/O
+layer that wraps your native TCP sockets. Of course, it is best if you
+just use :ref:`PR_OpenTCPSocket` or :ref:`PR_NewTCPSocket`. If you are not
+sure whether :ref:`PR_ImportTCPSocket` is right for you, please ask in the
+mozilla.dev.tech.nspr newsgroup.

+Description
+-----------
+
+:ref:`PR_InitializeNetAddr` allows the assignment of special network

+
+The special network address values are identified by the enum
+``PRNetAddrValue``:
+
+.. code::
+
+ typedef enum PRNetAddrValue{
+ PR_IpAddrNull,
+ PR_IpAddrAny,
+ PR_IpAddrLoopback
+ } PRNetAddrValue;
+
+The enum has the following enumerators:
+
+``PR_IpAddrNull``
+ Do not overwrite the IP address. This allows the caller to change the
+ network address' port number assignment without affecting the host
+ address.
+``PR_IpAddrAny``
+ Assign logical ``PR_INADDR_ANY`` to IP address. This wildcard value
+ is typically used to establish a socket on which to listen for
+ incoming connection requests.
+``PR_IpAddrLoopback``
+ Assign logical ``PR_INADDR_LOOPBACK``. A client can use this value to
+ connect to itself without knowing the host's network address.

+PR_Interrupt
+============
+
+Sets the interrupt request for a target thread.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prthread.h>
+
+ PRStatus PR_Interrupt(PRThread *thread);
+
+
+Parameter
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+:ref:`PR_Interrupt` has the following parameter:
+
+``thread``
+ The thread whose interrupt request you want to set.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+- If the specified thread is currently blocked, ``PR_SUCCESS``.
+- Otherwise, ``PR_FAILURE``.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The purpose of :ref:`PR_Interrupt` is to request that a thread performing
+some task stop what it is doing and return to some control point. It is
+assumed that a control point has been mutually arranged between the
+thread doing the interrupting and the thread being interrupted. When the
+interrupted thread reaches the prearranged point, it can communicate
+with its peer to discover the real reason behind the change in plans.
+
+The interrupt request remains in the thread's state until it is
+delivered exactly once or explicitly canceled. The interrupted thread
+returns ``PR_FAILURE`` (-1) with an error code (see :ref:`PR_GetError`) for
+blocking operations that return a :ref:`PRStatus` (such as I/O operations,
+monitor waits, or waiting on a condition). To check whether the thread
+was interrupted, compare the result of :ref:`PR_GetError` with
+``PR_PENDING_INTERRUPT_ERROR``.
+
+:ref:`PR_Interrupt` may itself fail if the target thread is invalid.
+
+Bugs
+----
+
+:ref:`PR_Interrupt` has the following limitations and known bugs:
+
+- There can be a delay for a thread to be interrupted from a blocking
+ I/O function. In all NSPR implementations, the maximum delay is at
+ most five seconds. In the pthreads-based implementation on Unix, the
+ maximum delay is 0.1 seconds.
+- File I/O is considered instantaneous, so file I/O functions cannot be
+ interrupted. Unfortunately the standard input, output, and error
+ streams are treated as files by NSPR, so a :ref:`PR_Read` call on
+ ``PR_STDIN`` cannot be interrupted even though it may block
+ indefinitely.
+- In the NT implementation, :ref:`PR_Connect` cannot be interrupted.
+- In the NT implementation, a file descriptor is not usable and must be
+ closed after an I/O function on the file descriptor is interrupted.

+PR_IntervalNow
+==============
+
+Returns the value of NSPR's free-running interval timer.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::

+
+ PRIntervalTime PR_IntervalNow(void);
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+A :ref:`PRIntervalTime` object.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+You can use the value returned by ``PR_IntervalNow()`` to establish
+epochs and to determine intervals (that is, compute the difference
+between two times). ``PR_IntervalNow()`` is both very efficient and
+nonblocking, so it is appropriate to use (for example) while holding a
+mutex.
+
+The most common use for ``PR_IntervalNow()`` is to establish an epoch
+and test for the expiration of intervals. In this case, you typically
+call ``PR_IntervalNow()`` in a sequence that looks like this:
+
+.. code::
+
+ PRUint32 interval = ... ; // milliseconds
+ // ...
+ PRStatus rv;
+ PRIntervalTime epoch = PR_IntervalNow();
+ PR_Lock(data->mutex);
+ while (!EvaluateData(data)) /* wait until condition is met */
+ {
+ PRUint32 delta = PR_IntervalToMilliseconds(PR_IntervalNow() - epoch);
+ if (delta > interval) break; /* timeout */
+ rv = PR_Wait(data->condition, PR_MillisecondsToInterval(interval - delta));
+ if (PR_FAILURE == rv) break; /* likely an interrupt */
+ }
+ PR_Unlock(data->mutex);

+Description
+-----------
+
+:ref:`PR_JoinThread` is used to synchronize the termination of a thread.

+the caller only after the target thread returns from its root function.
+
+:ref:`PR_JoinThread` must not be called until after :ref:`PR_CreateThread` has
+returned. If :ref:`PR_JoinThread` is not called on the same thread as
+:ref:`PR_CreateThread`, then it is the caller's responsibility to ensure
+that :ref:`PR_CreateThread` has completed.
+
+Several threads cannot wait for the same thread to complete. One of the
+calling threads operates successfully, and the others terminate with the
+error ``PR_FAILURE``.
+
+The calling thread is not blocked if the target thread has already
+terminated.
+
+:ref:`PR_JoinThread` is interruptible.

+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``addr``
+ A pointer to the network address to be converted.
+``string``
+ A buffer that will hold the converted string on output.

+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::

+ PRFileDesc* PR_NewTCPSocket(void);

+
+The function returns one of the following values:

+- Upon successful completion, a pointer to the :ref:`PRFileDesc` object
+ created for the newly opened IPv4 TCP socket.
+- If the creation of a new TCP socket failed, ``NULL``.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented, reliable
+byte-stream protocol of the TCP/IP protocol suite. :ref:`PR_NewTCPSocket`
+creates a new IPv4 TCP socket. A TCP connection is established by a
+passive socket (the server) accepting a connection setup request from an
+active socket (the client). Typically, the server binds its socket to a
+well-known port with :ref:`PR_Bind`, calls :ref:`PR_Listen` to start listening
+for connection setup requests, and calls :ref:`PR_Accept` to accept a
+connection. The client makes a connection request using :ref:`PR_Connect`.
+
+After a connection is established, the client and server may send and
+receive data between each other. To receive data, one can call
+:ref:`PR_Read` or :ref:`PR_Recv`. To send data, one can call :ref:`PR_Write`,
+:ref:`PR_Writev`, :ref:`PR_Send`, or :ref:`PR_TransmitFile`. :ref:`PR_AcceptRead` is
+suitable for use by the server to accept a new client connection and
+read the client's first request in one function call.
+
+A TCP connection can be shut down by :ref:`PR_Shutdown`, and the sockets
+should be closed by :ref:`PR_Close`.
+
+
+See Also
+--------
+
+:ref:`PR_NewTCPSocket` is deprecated because it is hardcoded to create an
+IPv4 TCP socket. New code should use :ref:`PR_OpenTCPSocket` instead, which
+allows the address family (IPv4 or IPv6) of the new TCP socket to be
+specified.

+PR_NewThreadPrivateIndex
+========================
+
+Returns a new index for a per-thread private data table and optionally

+

+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::

+ #include <prthread.h>

+ PRStatus PR_NewThreadPrivateIndex(
+ PRUintn *newIndex,

+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:ref:`PR_NewThreadPrivateIndex` has the following parameters:
+
+``newIndex``
+ On output, an index that is valid for all threads in the process. You
+ use this index with :ref:`PR_SetThreadPrivate` and
+ :ref:`PR_GetThreadPrivate`.
+``destructor``
+ Specifies a destructor function :ref:`PRThreadPrivateDTOR` for the
+ private data associated with the index. This function can be
+ specified as ``NULL``.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+- If successful, ``PR_SUCCESS``.
+- If the total number of indices exceeds 128, ``PR_FAILURE``.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+If :ref:`PR_NewThreadPrivateIndex` is successful, every thread in the same
+process is capable of associating private data with the new index. Until
+the data for an index is actually set, the value of the private data at
+that index is ``NULL``. You pass this index to :ref:`PR_SetThreadPrivate`
+and :ref:`PR_GetThreadPrivate` to set and retrieve data associated with the
+index.
+
+When you allocate the index, you may also register a destructor function
+of type :ref:`PRThreadPrivateDTOR`. If a destructor function is registered
+with a new index, it will be called at one of two times, as long as the
+private data is not ``NULL``:
+
+- when replacement private data is set with :ref:`PR_SetThreadPrivate`
+- when a thread exits
+
+The index maintains independent data values for each binding thread. A
+thread can get access only to its own thread-specific data. There is no
+way to deallocate a private data index once it is allocated.

+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This function adjusts the fields of the specified time structure using
+the specified time parameter callback function, so that they are in the
+proper range.
+
+Call this function in these situations:
+
+- To normalize a time after performing arithmetic operations directly
+ on the field values of the calendar time object. For example, if you
+ have a ``]`` object that represents the date 3 March 1998 and you
+ want to say "forty days from 3 March 1998", you can simply add 40 to
+ the ``tm_mday`` field and then call ``PR_NormalizeTime()``.
+
+- To calculate the optional field values ``tm_wday`` and ``tm_yday``.
+ For example, suppose you want to compute the day of week for 3 March
+ 1998. You can set ``tm_mday`` to 3, ``tm_month`` to 2, and
+ ``tm_year`` to 1998, and all the other fields to 0, then call
+ ``PR_NormalizeTime()`` with :ref:`PR_GMTParameters`. On return,
+ ``tm_wday`` (and ``tm_yday``) are set for you.
+
+- To convert from one time zone to another. For example, if the input
+ argument time is in time zone A and the input argument ``params``
+ represents time zone B, when ``PR_NormalizeTime()`` returns, time
+ will be in time zone B.

+
+Notification of a monitor signals the change of state of some monitored

+thread that is waiting on the condition variable to a ready state. If
+more than one thread is waiting, the selection of which thread gets
+promoted cannot be predicted. This implies that all threads waiting on a
+single condition variable must have the same semantics. If no thread is
+waiting on the condition variable, the notify operation is a no-op.

+Description
+-----------
+
+``PR_Now()`` returns the current time as number of microseconds since
+the NSPR epoch, which is midnight (00:00:00) 1 January 1970 UTC.
+
+You cannot assume that the values returned by ``PR_Now()`` are
+monotonically increasing because the system clock of the computer may be
+reset. To obtain monotonically increasing time stamps suitable for
+measuring elapsed time, use ``PR_IntervalNow()``.

+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:

+``flags``
+ The file status flags define how the file is accessed. It is a
+ bitwise ``OR`` of the following bit flags. In most cases, only one of
+ the first three flags may be used. If the ``flags`` parameter does
+ not include any of the first three flags (``PR_RDONLY``,
+ ``PR_WRONLY``, or ``PR_RDWR``), the open file can't be read or

++--------------------+-------+---------------------------------------+
+
+
+
+``mode``
+ When ``PR_CREATE_FILE`` flag is set and the file is created, these
+ flags define the access permission bits of the newly created file.
+ This feature is currently only applicable on Unix platforms. It is
+ ignored by any other platform but it may apply to other platforms in

+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented, reliable
+byte-stream protocol of the TCP/IP protocol suite. :ref:`PR_OpenTCPSocket`
+creates a new TCP socket of the address family ``af``. A TCP connection
+is established by a passive socket (the server) accepting a connection
+setup request from an active socket (the client). Typically, the server
+binds its socket to a well-known port with :ref:`PR_Bind`, calls
+:ref:`PR_Listen` to start listening for connection setup requests, and
+calls :ref:`PR_Accept` to accept a connection. The client makes a
+connection request using :ref:`PR_Connect`.
+
+After a connection is established, the client and server may send and
+receive data between each other. To receive data, one can call
+:ref:`PR_Read` or :ref:`PR_Recv`. To send data, one can call :ref:`PR_Write`,
+:ref:`PR_Writev`, :ref:`PR_Send`, or :ref:`PR_TransmitFile`. :ref:`PR_AcceptRead` is
+suitable for use by the server to accept a new client connection and
+read the client's first request in one function call.
+
+A TCP connection can be shut down by :ref:`PR_Shutdown`, and the sockets
+should be closed by :ref:`PR_Close`.

+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of these values:
+
+- If successful, the function returns a positive number indicating the
+ number of ``PRPollDesc`` structures in ``pds`` that have events.
+- The value 0 indicates the function timed out.
+- The value -1 indicates the function failed. The reason for the
+ failure can be obtained by calling :ref:`PR_GetError`.
+
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This function returns as soon as I/O is ready on one or more of the
+underlying socket objects. A count of the number of ready descriptors is
+returned unless a timeout occurs, in which case zero is returned.
+
+The ``in_flags`` field of the ``PRPollDesc`` data structure should be
+set to the I/O events (readable, writable, exception, or some
+combination) that the caller is interested in. On successful return, the
+``out_flags`` field of the ``PRPollDesc`` data structure is set to
+indicate what kind of I/O is ready on the respective descriptor.
+:ref:`PR_Poll` uses the ``out_flags`` fields as scratch variables during
+the call. If :ref:`PR_Poll` returns 0 or -1, the ``out_flags`` fields do
+not contain meaningful values and must not be used.
+
+The ``PRPollDesc`` structure is defined as follows:
+
+.. code::
+
+ struct PRPollDesc {
+ PRFileDesc* fd;
+ PRInt16 in_flags;
+ PRInt16 out_flags;
+ };
+
+ typedef struct PRPollDesc PRPollDesc;
+
+The structure has the following fields:
+
+``fd``
+ A pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` object representing a socket or a
+ pollable event. This field can be set to ``NULL`` to indicate to
+ :ref:`PR_Poll` that this ``PRFileDesc object`` should be ignored.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ On Unix, the ``fd`` field can be set to a pointer to any
+ :ref:`PRFileDesc` object, including one representing a file or a
+ pipe. Cross-platform applications should only set the ``fd`` field
+ to a pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` object representing a socket or a
+ pollable event because on Windows the ``select`` function can only
+ be used with sockets.
+``in_flags``
+ A bitwise ``OR`` of the following bit flags:
+
+ - :ref:`PR_POLL_READ`: ``fd`` is readable.
+ - :ref:`PR_POLL_WRITE`: ``fd`` is writable.
+ - :ref:`PR_POLL_EXCEPT`: ``fd`` has an exception condition.
+
+``out_flags``
+ A bitwise ``OR`` of the following bit flags:
+
+ - :ref:`PR_POLL_READ`
+ - :ref:`PR_POLL_WRITE`
+ - :ref:`PR_POLL_EXCEPT`
+ - :ref:`PR_POLL_ERR`: ``fd`` has an error.
+ - :ref:`PR_POLL_NVAL`: ``fd`` is bad.
+
+Note that the ``PR_POLL_ERR`` and ``PR_POLL_NVAL`` flags are used only
+in ``out_flags``. The ``PR_POLL_ERR`` and ``PR_POLL_NVAL`` events are
+always reported by :ref:`PR_Poll`.

+- If the layer is successfully removed from the stack, a pointer to the
+ removed layer.
+- If the layer is not found in the stack or cannot be popped (for
+ example, the bottommost layer), the function returns ``NULL`` with
+ the error code ``PR_INVALID_ARGUMENT_ERROR``.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+:ref:`PR_PopIOLayer` pops the specified layer from the stack. If the object
+to be removed is found, :ref:`PR_PopIOLayer` returns a pointer to the
+removed object The object then becomes the responsibility of the caller.
+
+Even if the identity indicates the top layer of the stack, the reference
+returned is not the file descriptor for the stack and that file
+descriptor remains valid. In other words, ``stack`` continues to point
+to the top of the stack after the function returns.

+
+ PRStatus PR_PushIOLayer(

+ PRDescIdentity id,
+ PRFileDesc *layer);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``stack``
+ A pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` object representing the stack.
+``id``
+ A :ref:`PRDescIdentity` object for the layer on the stack above which
+ the new layer is to be added.
+``layer``
+ A pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` object representing the new layer to be
+ added to the stack.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+- If the layer is successfully pushed onto the stack, ``PR_SUCCESS``.
+- If the layer is not successfully pushed onto the stack,
+ ``PR_FAILURE``. Use :ref:`PR_GetError` to get additional information
+ regarding the reason for the failure.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+A file descriptor for a layer (possibly allocated using
+:ref:`PR_CreateIOLayerStub`) may be pushed onto an existing stack of file
+descriptors at any time. The new layer is inserted into the stack just
+above the layer with the identity specified by ``id``.
+
+Even if the ``id`` parameter indicates the topmost layer of the stack,
+the value of the file descriptor describing the original stack will not
+change. In other words, ``stack`` continues to point to the top of the
+stack after the function returns.
+
+Caution
+-------
+
+Keeping the pointer to the stack even as layers are pushed onto the top
+of the stack is accomplished by swapping the contents of the file
+descriptor being pushed and the stack's current top layer file
+descriptor.
+
+The intent is that the pointer to the stack remain the stack's identity
+even if someone (perhaps covertly) has pushed other layers. Some subtle
+ramifications:
+
+- The ownership of the storage pointed to by the caller's layer
+ argument is relinquished to the runtime. Accessing the object via the
+ pointer is not permitted while the runtime has ownership. The correct
+ mechanism to access the object is to get a pointer to it by calling
+ :ref:`PR_GetIdentitiesLayer`.
+
+- The contents of the caller's object are swapped into another
+ container, including the reference to the object's destructor. If the
+ original container was allocated using a different mechanism than
+ used by the runtime, the default calling of the layer's destructor by
+ the runtime will fail :ref:`PR_CreateIOLayerStub` is provided to
+ allocate layer objects and template implementations). The destructor
+ will be called on all layers when the stack is closed (see
+ :ref:`PR_Close`). If the containers are allocated by some method other
+ than :ref:`PR_CreateIOLayerStub`, it may be required that the stack have
+ the layers popped off (in reverse order that they were pushed) before
+ calling :ref:`PR_Close`.

+ } PRDirFlags;
+
+The memory associated with the returned PRDirEntry structure is managed
+by NSPR. The caller must not free the ``PRDirEntry`` structure.
+Moreover, the ``PRDirEntry`` structure returned by each :ref:`PR_ReadDir`
+call is valid only until the next :ref:`PR_ReadDir` or :ref:`PR_CloseDir` call

+- A positive number indicates the number of bytes actually received.
+- The value 0 means the network connection is closed.
+- The value -1 indicates a failure. The reason for the failure can be

+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+:ref:`PR_RecvFrom` receives up to a specified number of bytes from socket,
+which may or may not be connected. The operation blocks until one or
+more bytes are transferred, a timeout has occurred, or there is an
+error. No more than ``amount`` bytes will be transferred.
+:ref:`PR_RecvFrom` is usually used with a UDP socket.

+PR_SetConcurrency
+=================
+
+Creates extra virtual processor threads. Generally used with MP systems.

+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::

+ #include <prinit.h>
+
+ void PR_SetConcurrency(PRUintn numCPUs);
+

+Parameter
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+:ref:`PR_SetConcurrency` has one parameter:
+
+``numCPUs``
+ The number of extra virtual processor threads to be created.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Setting concurrency controls the number of virtual processors that NSPR
+uses to implement its ``M x N`` threading model. The ``M x N`` model is
+not available on all host systems. On those where it is not available,
+:ref:`PR_SetConcurrency` is ignored.
+
+Virtual processors are actually\ *global* threads, each of which is
+designed to support an arbitrary number of\ *local* threads. Since
+global threads are scheduled by the host operating system, this model is
+particularly applicable to multiprocessor architectures, where true
+parallelism is possible. However, it may also prove advantageous on
+uniprocessor systems to reduce the impact of having a locally scheduled
+thread calling incidental blocking functions. In such cases, all the
+threads being supported by the virtual processor will block, but those
+assigned to another virtual processor will be unaffected.

+
+The function returns one of the following values:

+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+If the thread already has non-``NULL`` private data associated with it,
+and if the destructor function for the index is known (not ``NULL``),
+NSPR calls the destructor function associated with the index before
+setting the new data value. The pointer at the index is swapped with
+``NULL``. If the swapped out value is not ``NULL``, the destructor
+function is called. On return, the private data associated with the
+index is reassigned the new private data's value, even if it is
+``NULL``. The runtime provides no protection for the private data. The
+destructor is called with the runtime holding no locks. Synchronization
+is the client's responsibility.
+
+The only way to eliminate thread private data at an index prior to the
+thread's termination is to call :ref:`PR_SetThreadPrivate` with a ``NULL``
+argument. This causes the index's destructor function to be called, and
+afterwards assigns a ``NULL`` in the table. A client must not delete the
+referent object of a non-``NULL`` private data without first eliminating
+it from the table.

+PR_Shutdown
+===========
+
+Shuts down part of a full-duplex connection on a specified socket.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prio.h>
+
+ PRStatus PR_Shutdown(
+ PRFileDesc *fd,
+ PRShutdownHow how);
+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+``fd``
+ A pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` object representing a connected socket.
+``how``
+ The kind of disallowed operations on the socket. Possible values
+ include the following:
+
+ - :ref:`PR_SHUTDOWN_RCV`. Further receives will be disallowed.
+ - :ref:`PR_SHUTDOWN_SEND`. Further sends will be disallowed.
+ - :ref:`PR_SHUTDOWN_BOTH`. Further sends and receives will be
+ disallowed.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+- Upon successful completion of shutdown request, ``PR_SUCCESS``.
+- If unsuccessful, ``PR_FAILURE``. Further information can be obtained
+ by calling :ref:`PR_GetError`.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The ``PRShutdownHow`` enumeration is defined as follows:
+
+.. code::
+
+ typedef enum PRShutdownHow{
+ PR_SHUTDOWN_RCV = 0,
+ PR_SHUTDOWN_SEND = 1,
+ PR_SHUTDOWN_BOTH = 2

+------
+

+
+ PRStatus PR_Sleep(PRIntervalTime ticks);
+
+
+Parameter
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+:ref:`PR_Sleep` has the following parameter:

+``ticks``
+ The number of ticks you want the thread to sleep for (see
+ :ref:`PRIntervalTime`).
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+Calling :ref:`PR_Sleep` with a parameter equivalent to
+``PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT`` is an error and results in a ``PR_FAILURE``
+error.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+:ref:`PR_Sleep` simply waits on a condition for the amount of time
+specified. If you set ticks to ``PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT``, the thread
+yields.
+
+If ticks is not ``PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT``, :ref:`PR_Sleep` uses an existing
+lock, but has to create a new condition for this purpose. If you have
+already created such structures, it is more efficient to use them
+directly.
+
+Calling :ref:`PR_Sleep` with the value of ticks set to
+``PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT`` simply surrenders the processor to ready threads
+of the same priority. All other values of ticks cause :ref:`PR_Sleep` to
+block the calling thread for the specified interval.
+
+Threads blocked in :ref:`PR_Sleep` are interruptible.

+Description
+-----------
+
+:ref:`PR_strtod` converts the prefix of the input decimal string pointed to

+broken by the IEEE round-even rule. The string is scanned up to the
+first unrecognized character. If the value of ``se`` is not

+
+ PRStatus PR_Wait(

+
+
+Parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The function has the following parameter:
+
+``mon``
+ A reference to an existing structure of type :ref:`PRMonitor`. The
+ monitor object referenced must be one for which the calling thread
+ currently holds the lock.
+``ticks``
+ The amount of time (in :ref:`PRIntervalTime` units) that the thread is
+ willing to wait for an explicit notification before being
+ rescheduled.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+ - :ref:`PR_SUCCESS`` means the thread is being resumed from the ``PR_Wait`
+ call either because it was explicitly notified or because the time
+ specified by the parameter ``ticks`` has expired.
+ - :ref:`PR_FAILURE` means ``PR_Wait`` encountered a system error (such as
+ an invalid monitor reference) or the thread was interrupted by
+ another thread.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+A call to :ref:`PR_Wait` causes the thread to release the monitor's lock,
+just as if it had called :ref:`PR_ExitMonitor` as many times as it had
+called :ref:`PR_EnterMonitor`. This has the effect of making the monitor
+available to other threads. When the wait is over, the thread regains
+control of the monitor's lock with the same entry count it had before
+the wait began.
+
+A thread waiting on the monitor resumes when the monitor is notified or
+when the timeout specified by the ``ticks`` parameter elapses. The
+resumption from the wait is merely a hint that a change of state has
+occurred. It is the responsibility of the programmer to evaluate the
+data and act accordingly. This is usually done by evaluating a Boolean
+expression involving the monitored data. While the Boolean expression is
+false, the thread should wait. The thread should act on the data only
+when the expression is true. The boolean expression must be evaluated
+while in the monitor and within a loop.
+
+In pseudo-code, the sequence is as follows:
+
+| ``PR_EnterMonitor(&ml);``
+| ``while (!expression) wait;``
+| ``... act on the state change ...``
+| ``PR_ExitMonitor(&ml);``
+
+A thread can be resumed from a wait for a variety of reasons. The most
+obvious is that it was notified by another thread. If the value of
+timeout is not ``PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT``, :ref:`PR_Wait` resumes execution
+after the specified interval has expired. If a timeout value is used,
+the Boolean expression must include elapsed time as part of the
+monitored data.
+
+Resuming from the wait is merely an opportunity to evaluate the
+expression, not an assertion that the expression is true.

+ immediately attempt to reacquire the lock and resume.
+
+
+Returns
+~~~~~~~
+
+The function returns one of the following values:
+
+- If successful, ``PR_SUCCESS``.
+- If unsuccessful (for example, if the caller has not locked the lock
+ associated with the condition variable or the thread was interrupted
+ with :ref:`PR_Interrupt`), ``PR_FAILURE``. The details can be determined
+ with :ref:`PR_GetError`.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Before the call to :ref:`PR_WaitCondVar`, the lock associated with the
+condition variable must be held by the calling thread. After a call to
+:ref:`PR_WaitCondVar`, the lock is released and the thread is blocked in a
+"waiting on condition" state until another thread notifies the condition
+or a caller-specified amount of time expires.
+
+When the condition variable is notified, a thread waiting on that
+condition moves from the "waiting on condition" state to the "ready"
+state. When scheduled, the thread attempts to reacquire the lock that it
+held when :ref:`PR_WaitCondVar` was called.
+
+Any value other than ``PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT`` or
+``PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT`` for the timeout parameter will cause the thread
+to be rescheduled due to either explicit notification or the expiration
+of the specified interval. The latter must be determined by treating
+time as one part of the monitored data being protected by the lock and
+tested explicitly for an expired interval. To detect the expiration of
+the specified interval, call :ref:`PR_IntervalNow` before and after the
+call to :ref:`PR_WaitCondVar` and compare the elapsed time with the
+specified interval.

+
+File descriptors may be layered. Each layer has it own identity.
+Identities are allocated by the runtime and are to be associated (by the
+layer implementor) with all file descriptors of that layer. It is then
+possible to scan the chain of layers and find a layer that one
+recognizes, then predict that it will implement a desired protocol.
+
+There are three well-known identities:
+
+ - :ref:`PR_INVALID_IO_LAYER`, an invalid layer identity, for error return
+ - :ref:`PR_TOP_IO_LAYER`, the identity of the top of the stack
+ - :ref:`PR_NSPR_IO_LAYER`, the identity used by NSPR proper
+
+Layers are created by :ref:`PR_GetUniqueIdentity`. A string may be
+associated with a layer when the layer is created. The string is copied
+by the runtime, and :ref:`PR_GetNameForIdentity` returns a reference to
+that copy. There is no way to delete a layer's identity after the layer
+is created.

+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The :ref:`PRExplodedTime` structure represents clock/calendar time.
+:ref:`PRExplodedTime` has the familiar time components: year, month, day of
+month, hour, minute, second. It also has a microsecond component, as
+well as the day of week and the day of year. In addition,
+:ref:`PRExplodedTime` includes a :ref:`PRTimeParameters` structure
+representing the local time zone information, so that the time point is
+non-ambiguously specified.
+
+The essential members of :ref:`PRExplodedTime` are:
+
+ - :ref:`tm_year`: absolute year, AD (by "absolute," we mean if the year is
+ 2000, this field's value is 2000).
+ - :ref:`tm_month`: number of months past tm_year. The range is [0, 11]. 0
+ is January and 11 is December.
+ - :ref:`tm_mday`: the day of month. The range is [1, 31]. Note that it
+ starts from 1 as opposed to 0.
+ - :ref:`tm_hour`: number of hours past tm_mday. The range is [0, 23].
+ - :ref:`tm_min`: number of minutes past tm_hour. The range is [0, 59].
+ - :ref:`tm_sec`: number of seconds past tm_min. The range is [0, 61]. The
+ values 60 and 61 are for accommodating up to two leap seconds.
+ - :ref:`tm_usec`: number of microseconds past tm_sec. The range is [0,
+ 999999].
+ - :ref:`tm_params`: a `PRTimeParameters` structure representing the
+ local time zone information.
+
+The nonessential members of :ref:`PRExplodedTime` are:
+
+ - :ref:`tm_wday`: day of week. The range is [0, 6]. 0 is Sunday, 1 is
+ Monday, and 6 is Saturday.
+ - :ref:`tm_yday`: day of year. The range is [0, 365]. 0 is the 1st of
+ January.
+
+On input to NSPR functions, only the essential members of
+:ref:`PRExplodedTime` must be specified. The two nonessential members (day
+of week and day of year) are ignored by NSPR functions as input. When an
+NSPR function returns a :ref:`PRExplodedTime` object or sets a
+:ref:`PRExplodedTime` object as output, all of the :ref:`PRExplodedTime`
+members are set, including the nonessential members. You can also use
+``PR_NormalizeTime()`` to calculate the values of the nonessential
+members.

+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The opaque structure :ref:`PRFileMap` represents a memory-mapped file
+object. Before actually mapping a file to memory, you must create a
+memory-mapped file object by calling :ref:`PR_CreateFileMap`, which returns
+a pointer to :ref:`PRFileMap`. Then sections of the file can be mapped into
+memory by passing the :ref:`PRFileMap` pointer to :ref:`PR_MemMap`. The
+memory-mapped file object is closed by passing the :ref:`PRFileMap` pointer
+to :ref:`PR_CloseFileMap`.

+PRHostEnt
+=========
+
+A structure that defines a list of network addresses. This structure is
+output from :ref:`PR_GetHostByName` and :ref:`PR_GetHostByAddr` and passed to
+:ref:`PR_EnumerateHostEnt`. Clients should avoid directly accessing any of
+the structure's fields.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prnetdb.h>
+
+ typedef struct PRHostEnt {
+ char *h_name;
+ char **h_aliases;
+ #if defined(_WIN32)
+ PRInt16 h_addrtype;
+ PRInt16 h_length;
+ #else
+ PRInt32 h_addrtype;
+ PRInt32 h_length;
+ #endif
+ char **h_addr_list;
+ } PRHostEnt;
+
+
+Fields
+~~~~~~
+
+The structure has the following fields:
+
+``h_name``
+ Pointer to the official name of host.
+``h_aliases``
+ Pointer to a pointer to list of aliases. The list is terminated with
+ a ``NULL`` entry.
+``h_addrtype``
+ Host address type. For valid NSPR usage, this field must have a value
+ indicating either an IPv4 or an IPv6 address.
+``h_length``
+ Length of internal representation of the address in bytes. All of the
+ addresses in the list are of the same type and therefore of the same
+ length.
+``h_addr_list``
+ Pointer to a pointer to a list of addresses from name server (in
+ network byte order). The list is terminated with a ``NULL`` entry.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This structure is used by many of the network address functions. All
+addresses are passed in host order and returned in network order
+(suitable for use in system calls).
+
+Use the network address functions to manipulate the :ref:`PRHostEnt`
+structure. To make the transition to IP version 6 easier, it's best to
+treat :ref:`PRHostEnt` as an opaque structure.
+
+Note
+----
+
+``WINSOCK.H`` defines ``h_addrtype`` and ``h_length`` as a 16-bit field,
+whereas other platforms treat it as a 32-bit field. The ``#ifdef`` in
+the structure allows direct assignment of the :ref:`PRHostEnt` structure.

+PRIntervalTime
+==============
+
+A platform-dependent type that represents a monotonically increasing
+integer--the NSPR runtime clock.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prinrval.h>
+
+ typedef PRUint32 PRIntervalTime;
+
+ #define PR_INTERVAL_MIN 1000UL
+ #define PR_INTERVAL_MAX 100000UL
+
+ #define PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT 0UL
+ #define PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT 0xffffffffUL
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The units of :ref:`PRIntervalTime` are platform-dependent. They are chosen
+to be appropriate for the host OS, yet provide sufficient resolution and
+period to be useful to clients.
+
+The increasing interval value represented by :ref:`PRIntervalTime` wraps.
+It should therefore never be used for intervals greater than
+approximately 6 hours. Interval times are accurate regardless of host
+processing requirements and are very cheap to acquire.
+
+The constants ``PR_INTERVAL_MIN`` and ``PR_INTERVAL_MAX`` define a range
+in ticks per second. These constants bound both the period and the
+resolution of a :ref:`PRIntervalTime` object.
+
+The reserved constants ``PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT`` and
+``PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT`` have special meaning for NSPR. They indicate
+that the process should wait no time (return immediately) or wait
+forever (never time out), respectively.
+
+.. _Important_Note:
+
+Important Note
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The counters used for interval times are allowed to overflow. Since the
+sampling of the counter used to define an arbitrary epoch may have any
+32-bit value, some care must be taken in the use of interval times. The
+proper coding style to test the expiration of an interval is as follows:
+
+.. code::
+
+ if ((PRIntervalTime)(now - epoch) > interval)
+ <... interval has expired ...>
+
+As long as the interval and the elapsed time (now - epoch) do not exceed
+half the namespace allowed by a :ref:`PRIntervalTime` (2\ :sup:`31`-1), the
+expression shown above provides the expected result even if the signs of
+now and epoch differ.
+
+The resolution of a :ref:`PRIntervalTime` object is defined by the API.
+NSPR guarantees that there will be at least 1000 ticks per second and
+not more than 100000. At the maximum resolution of 10000 ticks per
+second, each tick represents 1/100000 of a second. At that rate, a
+32-bit register will overflow in approximately 28 hours, making the
+maximum useful interval approximately 6 hours. Waiting on events more
+than half a day in the future must therefore be based on a calendar
+time.

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+You don't need to know the type declaration for each function listed in
+the method table unless you are implementing a layer. For information
+about each function, see the corresponding function description in this
+document. For example, the ``write`` method in :ref:`PRIOMethods`
+implements the :ref:`PR_Write` function. For type definition details, see
+``prio.h``.
+
+The I/O methods table provides procedural access to the functions of the
+file descriptor. It is the responsibility of a layer implementor to
+provide suitable functions at every entry point (that is, for every
+function in the I/O methods table). If a layer provides no
+functionality, it should call the next lower (higher) function of the
+same name (for example, the "close" method would return
+``fd->lower->method->close(fd->lower)``).
+
+Not all functions in the methods table are implemented for all types of
+files. For example, the seek method is implemented for normal files but
+not for sockets. In cases where this partial implementation occurs, the
+function returns an error indication with an error code of
+``PR_INVALID_METHOD_ERROR``.

+
+Fields
+~~~~~~
+
+The structure has the following fields:
+
+``polarity``
+ Polarity of the option's setting: ``PR_FALSE`` means the option is
+ off, in which case the value of ``linger`` is ignored. ``PR_TRUE``
+ means the option is on, and the value of ``linger`` will be used to

+``linger``
+ Time (in :ref:`PRIntervalTime` units) to linger before closing if any
+ data remain in the socket send buffer.
+
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+By default, :ref:`PR_Close` returns immediately, but if there are any data
+remaining in the socket send buffer, the system attempts to deliver the
+data to the peer. The ``PR_SockOpt_Linger`` socket option, with a value
+represented by a structure of type :ref:`PRLinger`, makes it possible to
+change this default as follows:
+
+- If ``polarity`` is set to ``PR_FALSE``, :ref:`PR_Close` returns
+ immediately, but if there are any data remaining in the socket send
+ buffer, the runtime attempts to deliver the data to the peer.
+- If ``polarity`` is set to ``PR_TRUE`` and ``linger`` is set to 0
+ (``PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT``), the runtime aborts the connection when it
+ is closed and discards any data remaining in the socket send buffer.
+- If ``polarity`` is set to ``PR_TRUE`` and ``linger`` is nonzero, the
+ runtime *lingers* when the socket is closed. That is, if any data
+ remains in the socket send buffer, :ref:`PR_Close` blocks until either
+ all the data is sent and acknowledged by the peer or the interval
+ specified by ``linger`` expires.

+ };
+
+ typedef union PRNetAddr PRNetAddr;
+
+
+Fields
+~~~~~~
+
+The structure has the following fields:
+
+``family``
+ Address family: ``PR_AF_INET|PR_AF_INET6`` for ``raw.family``,
+ ``PR_AF_INET`` for ``inet.family``, ``PR_AF_INET6`` for
+ ``ipv6.family``.
+``data``
+ Raw address data.
+``port``
+ Port number of TCP or UDP, in network byte order.
+``ip``
+ The actual 32 (for ``inet.ip``) or 128 (for ``ipv6.ip``) bits of IP
+ address. The ``inet.ip`` field is in network byte order.
+``pad``
+ Unused.
+``flowinfo``
+ Routing information.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The union :ref:`PRNetAddr` represents a network address. NSPR supports only
+the Internet address family. By default, NSPR is built to support only
+IPv4, but it's possible to build the NSPR library to support both IPv4
+and IPv6. Therefore, the ``family`` field can be ``PR_AF_INET`` only for
+default NSPR, and can also be ``PR_AF_INET6`` if the binary supports
+``IPv6``.
+
+:ref:`PRNetAddr` is binary-compatible with the socket address structures in
+the familiar Berkeley socket interface, although this fact should not be
+relied upon. The raw member of the union is equivalent to
+``struct sockaddr``, the ``inet`` member is equivalent to
+``struct sockaddr_in``, and if the binary is built with ``IPv6``
+support, the ``ipv6`` member is equivalent to ``struct sockaddr_in6``.
+(Note that :ref:`PRNetAddr` does not have the ``length`` field that is
+present in ``struct sockaddr_in`` on some Unix platforms.)
+
+The macros ``PR_AF_INET``, ``PR_AF_INET6``, ``PR_INADDR_ANY``,
+``PR_INADDR_LOOPBACK`` are defined if ``prio.h`` is included.
+``PR_INADDR_ANY`` and ``PR_INADDR_LOOPBACK`` are special ``IPv4``
+addresses in host byte order, so they must be converted to network byte
+order before being assigned to the ``inet.ip`` field.

+Initialization and Cleanup
+--------------------------
+
+NSPR detects whether the library has been initialized and performs
+implicit initialization if it hasn't. Implicit initialization should
+suffice unless a program has specific sequencing requirements or needs
+to characterize the primordial thread. Explicit initialization is rarely
+necessary.
+
+Implicit initialization assumes that the initiator is the primordial
+thread and that the thread is a user thread of normal priority.

+Process Management And Interprocess Communication
+=================================================
+
+This chapter describes the NSPR routines that deal with processes. A
+process is an instance of a program. NSPR provides routines to create a
+new process and to wait for the termination of another process.
+
+NSPR does not provide an equivalent of the Unix ``fork()``. The
+newly-created process executes its program from the beginning. A new
+process can inherit specified file descriptors from its parent, and the
+parent can redirect the standard I/O streams of the child process to
+specified file descriptors.
+
+Note that the functions described in this chapter are not available for
+MacOS or Win16 operating systems.
+
+.. _Process_Management_Types_and_Constants:

+ The most commonly expected priority.
+``PR_PRIORITY_HIGH``
+ Slightly higher priority than ``PR_PRIORITY_NORMAL``. This priority

+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+In general, an NSPR thread of higher priority has a statistically better
+chance of running relative to threads of lower priority. However,
+because of the multiple strategies NSPR uses to implement threading on
+various host platforms, NSPR priorities are not precisely defined. At
+best they are intended to specify a preference in the amount of CPU time
+that a higher-priority thread might expect relative to a lower-priority
+thread. This preference is still subject to resource availability and
+must not be used in place of proper synchronization.

+PRThreadScope
+=============
+
+The scope of an NSPR thread, specified as a parameter to
+:ref:`PR_CreateThread` or returned by :ref:`PR_GetThreadScope`.
+
+

+``PR_LOCAL_THREAD``
+ A local thread, scheduled locally by NSPR within the process.
+``PR_GLOBAL_THREAD``
+ A global thread, scheduled by the host OS.
+``PR_GLOBAL_BOUND_THREAD``
+ A global bound (kernel) thread, scheduled by the host OS
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+An enumerator of type :ref:`PRThreadScope` specifies how a thread is
+scheduled: either locally by NSPR within the process (a local thread) or
+globally by the host (a global thread).
+
+Global threads are scheduled by the host OS and compete with all other
+threads on the host OS for resources. They are subject to fairly
+sophisticated scheduling techniques.
+
+Local threads are scheduled by NSPR within the process. The process is
+assumed to be globally scheduled, but NSPR can manipulate local threads
+without system intervention. In most cases, this leads to a significant
+performance benefit.
+
+However, on systems that require NSPR to make a distinction between
+global and local threads, global threads are invariably required to do
+any form of I/O. If a thread is likely to do a lot of I/O, making it a
+global thread early is probably warranted.
+
+On systems that don't make a distinction between local and global
+threads, NSPR silently ignores the scheduling request. To find the scope
+of the thread, call :ref:`PR_GetThreadScope`.

+PRThreadState

+``PR_UNJOINABLE_THREAD``
+ Thread termination happens implicitly when the thread returns from
+ the root function. The time of release of the resources assigned to
+ the thread cannot be determined in advance. Threads created with a
+ ``PR_UNJOINABLE_THREAD`` state cannot be used as arguments to
+ :ref:`PR_JoinThread`.
+``PR_JOINABLE_THREAD``
+ Joinable thread references remain valid after they have returned from
+ their root function until :ref:`PR_JoinThread` is called. This approach
+ facilitates management of the process' critical resources.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+A thread is a critical resource and must be managed.
+
+The lifetime of a thread extends from the time it is created to the time
+it returns from its root function. What happens when it returns from its
+root function depends on the thread state passed to :ref:`PR_CreateThread`
+when the thread was created.
+
+If a thread is created as a joinable thread, it continues to exist after
+returning from its root function until another thread joins it. The join
+process permits strict synchronization of thread termination and
+therefore promotes effective resource management.
+
+If a thread is created as an unjoinable (also called detached) thread,
+it terminates and cleans up after itself after returning from its root
+function. This results in some ambiguity after the thread's root
+function has returned and before the thread has finished terminating
+itself.

+PRTimeParameters
+================
+
+A representation of time zone information.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prtime.h>
+
+ typedef struct PRTimeParameters {
+ PRInt32 tp_gmt_offset;
+ PRInt32 tp_dst_offset;
+ } PRTimeParameters;
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Each geographic location has a standard time zone, and if Daylight
+Saving Time (DST) is practiced, a daylight time zone. The
+:ref:`PRTimeParameters` structure represents the local time zone
+information in terms of the offset (in seconds) from GMT. The overall
+offset is broken into two components:
+
+``tp_gmt_offset``
+ The offset of the local standard time from GMT.
+
+``tp_dst_offset``
+ If daylight savings time (DST) is in effect, the DST adjustment from
+ the local standard time. This is most commonly 1 hour, but may also
+ be 30 minutes or some other amount. If DST is not in effect, the
+ tp_dst_offset component is 0.
+
+For example, the US Pacific Time Zone has both a standard time zone
+(Pacific Standard Time, or PST) and a daylight time zone (Pacific
+Daylight Time, or PDT).
+
+- In PST, the local time is 8 hours behind GMT, so ``tp_gmt_offset`` is
+ -28800 seconds. ``tp_dst_offset`` is 0, indicating that daylight
+ saving time is not in effect.
+
+- In PDT, the clock is turned forward by one hour, so the local time is
+ 7 hours behind GMT. This is broken down as -8 + 1 hours, so
+ ``tp_gmt_offset`` is -28800 seconds, and ``tp_dst_offset`` is 3600
+ seconds.
+
+A second example is Japan, which is 9 hours ahead of GMT. Japan does not
+use daylight saving time, so the only time zone is Japan Standard Time
+(JST). In JST ``tp_gmt_offset`` is 32400 seconds, and ``tp_dst_offset``
+is 0.

+NSPR provides an execution environment that promotes the use of
+lightweight threads. Each thread is an execution entity that is
+scheduled independently from other threads in the same process. This
+chapter describes the basic NSPR threading API.
+
+- `Threading Types and Constants <#Threading_Types_and_Constants>`__
+- `Threading Functions <#Threading_Functions>`__
+
+A thread has a limited number of resources that it truly owns. These
+resources include a stack and the CPU registers (including PC). To an
+NSPR client, a thread is represented by a pointer to an opaque structure
+of type :ref:`PRThread`. A thread is created by an explicit client request
+and remains a valid, independent execution entity until it returns from
+its root function or the process abnormally terminates. Threads are
+critical resources and therefore require some management. To synchronize
+the termination of a thread, you can **join** it with another thread
+(see :ref:`PR_JoinThread`). Joining a thread provides definitive proof that
+the target thread has terminated and has finished with both the
+resources to which the thread has access and the resources of the thread
+itself.
+
+For an overview of the NSPR threading model and sample code that
+illustrates its use, see `Introduction to
+NSPR <Introduction_to_NSPR>`__.

+`Locks <Locks>`__ and `Condition Variables <Condition_Variables>`__.

+Creating, Joining, and Identifying Threads
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ - :ref:`PR_CreateThread` creates a new thread.
+ - :ref:`PR_JoinThread` blocks the calling thread until a specified thread
+ terminates.
+ - :ref:`PR_GetCurrentThread` returns the current thread object for the
+ currently running code.
+ - :ref:`PR_AttachThread`` associates a :ref:`PRThread` object with an existing
+ native thread.
+ - :ref:`PR_DetachThread`` disassociates a :ref:`PRThread` object from a native

+
+Controlling Thread Priorities
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For an overview of the way NSPR controls thread priorities, see `Setting
+Thread Priorities <Introduction_to_NSPR#Setting_Thread_Priorities.>`__.
+
+You set a thread's NSPR priority when you create it with
+:ref:`PR_CreateThread`. After a thread has been created, you can get and
+set its priority with these functions:
+
+ - :ref:`PR_GetThreadPriority`
+ - :ref:`PR_SetThreadPriority`
+
+.. _Controlling_Per-Thread_Private_Data:
+
+Controlling Per-Thread Private Data
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can use these functions to associate private data with each of the
+threads in a process:
+
+ - :ref:`PR_NewThreadPrivateIndex` allocates a unique index. If the call is
+ successful, every thread in the same process is capable of
+ associating private data with the new index.
+ - :ref:`PR_SetThreadPrivate` associates private thread data with an index.
+ - :ref:`PR_GetThreadPrivate` retrieves data associated with an index.
+
+.. _Interrupting_and_Yielding:
+
+Interrupting and Yielding
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ - :ref:`PR_Interrupt` requests an interrupt of another thread. Once the
+ target thread has been notified of the request, the request stays
+ with the thread until the notification either has been delivered
+ exactly once or is cleared.
+ - :ref:`PR_ClearInterrupt` clears a previous interrupt request.
+ - :ref:`PR_Sleep` causes a thread to yield to other threads for a
+ specified number of ticks.
+
+.. _Setting_Global_Thread_Concurrency:
+
+Setting Global Thread Concurrency
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ - :ref:`PR_SetConcurrency` sets the number of global threads used by NSPR
+ to create local threads.
+
+.. _Getting_a_Thread.27s_Scope:
+
+Getting a Thread's Scope
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ - :ref:`PR_GetThreadScope` gets the scoping of the current thread.
