@title[#:tag "all-sync" #:style 'toc]{Synchronization}
Scheme's synchronization toolbox spans three layers:
@itemize{
@item{@tech{synchronizable events} --- a general framework for
synchronization;}
@item{@tech{channels} --- a primitive that can be used, in principle,
to build most other kinds of synchronizable events (except the ones
that compose events); and}
@item{@tech{semaphores} --- a simple and especially cheap primitive
for synchronization.}
}
