Submitted by: John Birrell <cimaxp1!jb@werple.net.au> Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA, which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended). I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff. The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags. also: Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions. The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with libc. also: I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page. It allows people to type make -DWANT_LIBC_R world to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r. also: The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3. The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <pthread.h>
.Ft int
.Fn pthread_join "pthread_t thread" "void **value_ptr"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn pthread_join
function suspends execution of the calling thread until the target
.Fa thread
terminates unless the target
.Fa thread
has already terminated.
.Pp
On return from a successful
.Fn pthread_join
call with a non-NULL
.Fa value_ptr
argument, the value passed to
.Fn pthread_exit
by the terminating thread is stored in the location referenced by
.Fa value_ptr .
When a
.Fn pthread_join
Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.
