(* Module [ThreadIO]: thread-compatible input-output operations *)

(* This module reimplements some of the functions from [Pervasives]
   and [Lexing] so that they only block the calling thread, not all threads
   in the program, if input or output is not immediately possible.
   See the documentation of the [Pervasives] and [Lexing] modules for
   precise descriptions of the functions below. *)
