twz_rt_futex_wait: If the futex word pointed to by word is equal to expected, put the thread to sleep. This operation is atomic – the thread is enqueued on the sleep queue first, before the equality check. Returns false on timeout, true on all other cases.
twz_rt_futex_wake: Wake up up to max threads waiting on word. If max is None, wake up all threads.
twz_rt_join_thread: Wait for a thread to exit, optionally timing out.
twz_rt_set_thread_name: Set the name of the calling thread.
twz_rt_sleep: Sleep the calling thread for duration dur.
twz_rt_spawn_thread: Spawn a thread. On success, that thread starts executing concurrently with the return of this function.
