<function>RegisterBackgroundWorker(<type>BackgroundWorker *worker</type>)</function>
When a background worker is registered using the

possible for the backend performing the registration to obtain information
- the status of the worker. Backends wishing to do this should pass the
- address of a <type>BackgroundWorkerHandle *</type> as the second argument

This function can be used to poll the status of the worker: a return
