Detailed Description
       A class for managing threads.

       This class provides a portable framework around the tasks of instantiating, starting, stopping and joining threads.

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