/**
* \defgroup fstrm_iothr fstrm_iothr
*
* The `fstrm_iothr` interface creates a background I/O thread which writes
* Frame Streams encapsulated data frames into an output stream specified by an
* \ref fstrm_writer object. It exposes non-blocking input queues that can be
* used by worker threads to asynchronously write data frames to the output
* stream. A deferred deallocation callback is invoked after the I/O thread has
* disposed of a queued data frame.
*
* In order to create an `fstrm_iothr` object, the caller must first configure
* and instantiate an `fstrm_writer` object and pass this instance to the
* fstrm_iothr_init() function. The `fstrm_iothr` object then takes ownership of
* the `fstrm_writer` object. It is responsible for serializing writes and will
* take care of destroying the captive `fstrm_writer` object at the same time
* the `fstrm_iothr` object is destroyed. The caller should not perform any
* operations on the captive `fstrm_writer` object after it has been passed to
* `fstrm_iothr_init()`.
*
* Parameters used to configure the I/O thread are passed through an
* `fstrm_iothr_options` object. These options have to be specified in advance
* and are mostly performance knobs which have reasonable defaults.
*
* Once the `fstrm_iothr` object has been created, handles to the input queues
* used to submit data frames can be obtained by calling
* `fstrm_iothr_get_input_queue()`. This function can be called up to
* **num_input_queues** times, and can be safely called concurrently. For
* instance, in an application with a fixed number of worker threads, an input
* queue can be dedicated to each worker thread by setting the
* **num_input_queues** option to the number of worker threads, and then calling
* `fstrm_iothr_get_input_queue()` from each worker thread's startup function to
* obtain a per-thread input queue.
