NAME
     libpthread - POSIX threads library

SYNOPSIS
     cc -mt [ flag... ] file... -lpthread [  -lrt  library... ]


DESCRIPTION
     Historically,  functions  in  this  library  provided  POSIX
     threading  support. See standards(5). 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 applica-
     tion  development  needs to specify -lpthread only to obtain
     POSIX semantics for fork(2) that  assumes  the  behavior  of
     fork1(2)  rather  than  the  default behavior that forks all
     threads.

INTERFACES
     The shared object libpthread.so.1 provides the public inter-
     faces defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information
     on shared object interfaces.
