Block until the background processing thread has shutdown (which must be initiated by a separate call to `shutdown`) then join the background thread, remove the named pipe, and return. Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value otherwise. If `shutdown` has not been called, this method will block indefinitely until another thread calls `shutdown`. Once `stop` has returned, `start` can be called again with the same or a different named pipe. Note that frequently user code will call `shutdown` and then immediately call `stop` on a `TaskManager` object.
