  <para>
   When launched via the Service Control Manager, a service process is
   required to "check-in" with it to establish service monitoring and
   communication facilities.  This function performs the check-in by spawning
   a thread to handle the lower-level communication with the service control
   manager.
  </para>
  <para>
   Once started, the service process should do 2 things. The first is to tell
   the Service Control Manager that the service is running. This is achieved
   by calling <function>win32_set_service_status</function> with the
   <constant>WIN32_SERVICE_RUNNING</constant> constant. If you need to perform
   some lengthy process before the service is actually running, then you can
   use the <constant>WIN32_SERVICE_START_PENDING</constant> constant. The
   second is to continue to check-in with the service control manager so that
   it can determine if it should terminate. This is achieved by periodically
   calling <function>win32_get_last_control_message</function> and handling the
   return code appropriately.
  </para>

  <caution>
   <para>
    Since version 0.2.0, this function work only in "cli" SAPI. On other SAPI 
    this function is disabled.
