The Threaded class

(PECL pthreads >= 2.0.0)

Introduction

Threaded objects form the basis of pthreads ability to execute user code asynchronously; they expose and include synchronization methods and various useful interfaces.

Threaded objects, most importantly, provide implicit safety for the programmer; all operations on the object scope are safe.
