LIBTHREAD 3LIB "Mar 24, 2004"
NAME
libthread - threads library
SYNOPSIS

cc -mt [ flag... ] file... [ library... ]
DESCRIPTION

Historically, functions in libthread provided threading support. This functionality now resides in libc(3LIB).

This library is maintained to provide backward compatibility for both runtime and compilation environments. The shared object is implemented as a filter on libc.so.1. New application development need not specify -lthread.

INTERFACES

The shared object libthread.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object interfaces.

cond_init cond_reltimedwait
cond_signal cond_timedwait
cond_wait mutex_destroy
mutex_init mutex_lock

rw_rdlock rw_tryrdlock
rw_trywrlock rw_unlock
rw_wrlock rwlock_destroy
rwlock_init sema_destroy
sema_init sema_post
sema_trywait sema_wait
