LIBTHREAD(3LIB) Interface Libraries LIBTHREAD(3LIB)

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.
