/* -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * (c) The GHC Team 1998-2020
 *
 * Prototypes for functions in IOManager.c and elsewhere
 *
 * Hooks for the I/O subsystem(s) that are called from other parts of the RTS.
 *
 * There are several different I/O subsystem implementations (aka I/O managers),
 * for different platforms (notably Windows vs others), and for the threaded vs
 * non-threaded RTS. These implementations all need hooks into other parts of
 * the RTS, such as startup/shutdown, the scheduler and other special features.
 *
 * To keep things comprehensible, all the hooks used by all the different I/O
 * subsystem implementations are centralised here. Not all implementations use
 * all hooks.
