Advanced management

Advanced thread management with Windows threads includes jobs, fibers, and thread pools. Jobs essentially allow one to link multiple threads together into a singular unit, enabling one to change properties and the status of all these threads in one go.

Fibers are light-weight threads, which run within the context of the thread which creates them. The creating thread is expected to schedule these fibers itself. Fibers also have Fiber Local Storage (FLS) akin to TLS.

Finally, the Windows threads API provides a Thread Pool API, allowing one to easily use such a thread pool in one's application. Each process is also provided with a default thread pool.
