|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
POSIX threads are a set of functions that support applications with
|
|
requirements for multiple flows of control, called
|
|
.Em threads ,
|
|
within a process.
|
|
Multithreading is used to improve the performance of a
|
|
program.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The POSIX thread functions are summarized in this section in the following

.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
The current
|
|
.Fx
|
|
POSIX thread implementation is built in two libraries,
|
|
.Lb libthr ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Lb libkse .
|
|
They contain both thread-safe versions of
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
functions and the thread functions.
|
|
Threaded applications are linked with one of these libraries.
