Mastering C++ Multithreading

In the STL, we find the following header organization, and their provided functionality:

Header	Provides
`<thread>`	The `std::thread` class. Methods under `std::this_thread` namespace: `yield` `get_id` `sleep_for` `sleep_until`
`<mutex>`	Classes: `mutex` `timed_mutex` `recursive_mutex` `recursive_timed_mutex` `lock_guard` `scoped_lock` (C++17) `unique_lock` Functions: `try_lock` `lock` `call_once` `std::swap` (`std::unique_lock`)
`<shared_mutex>`	Classes: `shared_mutex` (C++17) `shared_timed_mutex` (C++14) `shared_lock` (C++14) Functions: `std::swap` (`std::shared_lock`)
`<future>`	Classes: `promise` `packaged_task` `future` `shared_future` Functions: `async` `future_category` `std::swap` (`std::promise`) `std::swap` (`std::packaged_task`)
`<condition_variable>`	Classes: `condition_variable` `condition_variable_any` Function: `notify_all_at_thread_exit`

In the preceding table, we can see the functionality provided by each header along with the features introduced with the 2014 and 2017 standards. In the following sections, we will take a detailed look at each function and class.
