// .NAME vtkMultiThreader - A class for performing multithreaded execution
// .SECTION Description
// vtkMultithreader is a class that provides support for multithreaded
// execution using sproc() on an SGI, or pthread_create on any platform
// supporting POSIX threads.  This class can be used to execute a single
// method on multiple threads, or to specify a method per thread.

// If VTK_USE_SPROC is defined, then sproc() will be used to create
// multiple threads on an SGI. If VTK_USE_PTHREADS is defined, then
// pthread_create() will be used to create multiple threads (on
// a sun, for example)

// Defined in vtkSystemIncludes.h:
//   VTK_MAX_THREADS

// If VTK_USE_PTHREADS is defined, then the multithreaded
// function is of type void *, and returns NULL
// Otherwise the type is void which is correct for WIN32
// and SPROC

  // The ThreadID is a number between 0 and NumberOfThreads-1 that indicates
  // the id of this thread. The NumberOfThreads is this->NumberOfThreads for
  // threads created from SingleMethodExecute or MultipleMethodExecute,
  // and it is 1 for threads created from SpawnThread.
  // The UserData is the (void *)arg passed into the SetSingleMethod,
  // SetMultipleMethod, or SpawnThread method.
