/*
 * The sequence is the following (for dump, similar for restore):
 *
 * The master process starts the parallel backup in ParllelBackupStart, this
 * forks the worker processes which enter WaitForCommand().
 *
 * The master process dispatches an individual work item to one of the worker
 * processes in DispatchJobForTocEntry(). It calls
 * AH->MasterStartParallelItemPtr, a routine of the output format. This
 * function's arguments are the parents archive handle AH (containing the full
 * catalog information), the TocEntry that the worker should work on and a
 * T_Action act indicating whether this is a backup or a restore item.  The
 * function then converts the TocEntry assignment into a string that is then
 * sent over to the worker process. In the simplest case that would be
 * something like "DUMP 1234", with 1234 being the TocEntry id.
 *
 * The worker receives the message in the routine pointed to by
 * WorkerJobDumpPtr or WorkerJobRestorePtr. These are also pointers to
 * corresponding routines of the respective output format, e.g.
 * _WorkerJobDumpDirectory().
 *
 * Remember that we have forked off the workers only after we have read in the
 * catalog. That's why our worker processes can also access the catalog
 * information. Now they re-translate the textual representation to a TocEntry
 * on their side and do the required action (restore or dump).
 *
 * The result is again a textual string that is sent back to the master and is
 * interpreted by AH->MasterEndParallelItemPtr. This function can update state
 * or catalog information on the master's side, depending on the reply from
 * the worker process. In the end it returns status which is 0 for successful
 * execution.
