## Advantages over `jobserver`?
- `jobslot` contains bug fix for [Client::configure is unsafe]
- `jobslot` removed use of signal handling in the helper thread on unix
- `jobslot` uses `windows-sys` on windows instead of manually declaring bindings (some of the bindings seem to be wrong)
- `jobslot` uses `getrandom` on windows instead of making homebrew one using raw windows api
- `jobslot::Client::from_env` can be called any number of times on Windows and Unix.
[Client::configure is unsafe]: https://github.com/alexcrichton/jobserver-rs/issues/25
## Usage
First, add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
jobslot = "0.2"
```
## Use of this crate in rustc
This crate uses `getrandom` v0.2.7 on windows.
If you want to use this crate in rustc, make sure to bump `getrandom` to v0.2
to avoid pulling in different major versions of the same crate.
