+/*****
+ ***** Module Info
+ *****/
+
+/*! \file isc/task.h
+ * \brief The task system provides a lightweight execution context, which is
+ * basically an event queue.
+ *
+ * When a task's event queue is non-empty, the
+ * task is runnable. A small work crew of threads, typically one per CPU,
+ * execute runnable tasks by dispatching the events on the tasks' event
+ * queues. Context switching between tasks is fast.
+ *
+ * \li MP:
+ * The module ensures appropriate synchronization of data structures it
+ * creates and manipulates.
+ * The caller must ensure that isc_taskmgr_destroy() is called only
+ * once for a given manager.
+ *
+ * \li Reliability:
+ * No anticipated impact.
+ *
+ * \li Resources:
+ * TBS
+ *
+ * \li Security:
+ * No anticipated impact.
+ *
+ * \li Standards:
+ * None.
+ *
+ * \section purge Purging and Unsending
+ *
+ * Events which have been queued for a task but not delivered may be removed
+ * from the task's event queue by purging or unsending.
+ *
+ * With both types, the caller specifies a matching pattern that selects
+ * events based upon their sender, type, and tag.
+ *
+ * Purging calls isc_event_free() on the matching events.
+ *
