+<P><B>pthread_create</B> creates a new thread of control that
+executes concurrently with the calling thread. The new thread applies
+the function <I>start_routine</I> passing it <I>arg</I> as first
+argument. The new thread terminates either explicitly, by calling
+<A HREF="pthread_exit.html"><B>pthread_exit</B>(3)</A> , or
+implicitly, by returning from the <I>start_routine</I> function. The
+latter case is equivalent to calling <A HREF="pthread_exit.html"><B>pthread_exit</B>(3)</A>
+with the result returned by <I>start_routine</I> as exit code.
+</P>
+<P>The initial signal state of the new thread is inherited from it's
+creating thread and there are no pending signals. <B>Pthreads-w32</B>
+does not yet implement signals.</P>
+<P>The <I>attr</I> argument specifies thread attributes to be applied
+to the new thread. See <A HREF="pthread_attr_init.html"><B>pthread_attr_init</B>(3)</A>
+for a complete list of thread attributes. The <I>attr</I> argument
+can also be <B>NULL</B>, in which case default attributes are used:
+the created thread is joinable (not detached) and has default (non
+real-time) scheduling policy.
+</P>
+<H2><A HREF="#toc3" NAME="sect3">Return Value</A></H2>
+<P>On success, the identifier of the newly created thread is stored
+in the location pointed by the <I>thread</I> argument, and a 0 is
+returned. On error, a non-zero error code is returned.
