It exposes non-blocking input queues that can be * used by worker threads to asynchronously write data frames to the output * stream. A deferred deallocation callback is invoked after the I/O thread has * disposed of a queued data frame. * * In order to create an `fstrm_iothr` object, the caller must first configure * and instantiate an `fstrm_writer` object and pass this instance to the * fstrm_iothr_init() function. The `fstrm_iothr` object then takes ownership of * the `fstrm_writer` object. It is responsible for serializing writes and will * take care of destroying the captive `fstrm_writer` object at the same time * the `fstrm_iothr` object is destroyed. The caller should not perform any * operations on the captive `fstrm_writer` object after it has been passed to * `fstrm_iothr_init()`. * * Parameters used to configure the I/O thread are passed through an * `fstrm_iothr_options` object. These options have to be specified in advance * and are mostly performance knobs which have reasonable defaults. * * Once the `fstrm_iothr` object has been created, handles to the input queues * used to submit data frames can be obtained by calling * `fstrm_iothr_get_input_queue()`. This function can be called up to * **num_input_queues** times, and can be safely called concurrently. For * instance, in an application with a fixed number of worker threads, an input * queue can be dedicated to each worker thread by setting the * **num_input_queues** option to the number of worker threads, and then calling * `fstrm_iothr_get_input_queue()` from each worker thread's startup function to * obtain a per-thread input queue. * * @{ */ /** * Initialize an `fstrm_iothr_options` object.
