	queue
     
         A first-in first-out data structure used to
        sequence multiple demands for a resource such as a printer,
        processor or communications channel.  Objects are added to
        the tail of the queue and taken off the head.
     
        A typical use of queues in an operating system involves a
        user command which places something on a queue, e.g. a file on
        a printer queue or a job on a job queue, and a background
        process or "demon" which takes things off and processes them
        (e.g. prints or executes them).  Another common use is to pass
        data between an interrupt handler and a user process.
