Package Specification
This package specifies API for scheduling background tasks, or jobs. Jobs can be
scheduled for immediate execution, or for execution after a specified delay. Once
scheduled, jobs can be queried, canceled, or suspended. Rules can be attached to
jobs to indicate when they can run, and whether they can run simultaneously with other
jobs. This package also includes a generic locking facility that includes support for
detecting and responding to deadlock.
