The NPS Pthread Pool module interface.

Inferface for a module to maniulate a simple POSIX thread pool. Each pool is manger-less, and supports a min- and max- thread population.

• To enqueue a job in a pool, see thr_pool_queue().
• To destroy a pool, see thr_pool_destroy().

Precondition:

Postcondition:
