** STRUCTURE:   PRWaitGroup
** DESCRIPTION:
**      The client may define several wait groups in order to semantically
**      tie a collection of file descriptors for a single purpose. This allows
**      easier dispatching of threads that returned with active file descriptors
**      from the wait function.

/*
** ENUMERATION: PRMWStatus
** DESCRIPTION:
**      This enumeration is used to indicate the completion status of
**      a receive wait object. Generally stated, a positive value indicates
**      that the operation is not yet complete. A zero value indicates
**      success (similar to PR_SUCCESS) and any negative value is an
**      indication of failure. The reason for the failure can be retrieved
**      by calling PR_GetError().
**
**  PR_MW_PENDING       The operation is still pending. None of the other
**                      fields of the object are currently valid.
**  PR_MW_SUCCESS       The operation is complete and it was successful.
**  PR_MW_FAILURE       The operation failed. The reason for the failure
**                      can be retrieved by calling PR_GetError().
**  PR_MW_TIMEOUT       The amount of time allowed for by the object's
**                      'timeout' field has expired w/o the operation
**                      otherwise coming to closure.
**  PR_MW_INTERRUPT     The operation was cancelled, either by the client
**                      calling PR_CancelWaitFileDesc() or destroying the
**                      entire wait group (PR_DestroyWaitGroup()).

**      block before abandoning the process.

**      'outcome' field. The fields are not valid when the NSPR runtime
**      is in possession of the object.

**      in the caller's address space where data from an initial read
**      can be placed. The description may indicate a null interval.
