/* NAME
/*	mail_flow 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	global mail flow control
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <mail_flow.h>
/*
/*	ssize_t	mail_flow_get(count)
/*	ssize_t	count;
/*
/*	ssize_t	mail_flow_put(count)
/*	ssize_t	count;
/*
/*	ssize_t	mail_flow_count()
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	This module implements a simple flow control mechanism that
/*	is based on tokens that are consumed by mail receiving processes
/*	and that are produced by mail sending processes.
/*
/*	mail_flow_get() attempts to read specified number of tokens. The
/*	result is > 0 for success, < 0 for failure. In the latter case,
/*	the process is expected to slow down a little.
/*
/*	mail_flow_put() produces the specified number of tokens. The
/*	token producing process is expected to produce new tokens
/*	whenever it falls idle and no more tokens are available.
/*
/*	mail_flow_count() returns the number of available tokens.
/* BUGS
/*	The producer needs to wake up periodically to ensure that
/*	tokens are not lost due to leakage.
/* LICENSE
/* .ad

/*	The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.
