Interface Libraries                               libthread(3LIB)



NAME
     libthread - threads library

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


DESCRIPTION
     Historically, functions in libthread provided threading sup-
     port. 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 need not specify -lthread.

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