The C POSIX library is a specification of a C standard library for POSIX systems. It was developed at the same time as the ANSI C standard.
Pthreads
EXECUTION MODEL WHICH ALLOWS FOR PARALLEL COMPUTING
Pthread; Posix threads; POSIX threads; Pthread.h; PThread; POSIX thread; Libpthread; Pthread create; POSIX Threads
POSIX Threads, commonly known as pthreads, is an execution model that exists independently from a language, as well as a parallel execution model. It allows a program to control multiple different flows of work that overlap in time.
Pthreads
EXECUTION MODEL WHICH ALLOWS FOR PARALLEL COMPUTING
Pthread; Posix threads; POSIX threads; Pthread.h; PThread; POSIX thread; Libpthread; Pthread create; POSIX Threads
A library of pre-emptive thread routines (for Ada?), designed
and implemented in the PART (POSIX / Ada-Runtime Project).
Pthreads is compliant with POSIX 1003.4a Draft 6.
Version 1.17 has been ported to Sun-4/SunOS 4.1.x.
