Name

pthread_create - create a new thread +

Synopsis

#include <pthread.h> +

int pthread_create(pthread_t * thread, +pthread_attr_t * attr, void * (*start_routine)(void +*), void * arg); +

Description

pthread_create creates a new thread of control that +executes concurrently with the calling thread. The new thread applies +the function start_routine passing it arg as first +argument. The new thread terminates either explicitly, by calling +pthread_exit(3) , or +implicitly, by returning from the start_routine function. The +latter case is equivalent to calling pthread_exit(3) +with the result returned by start_routine as exit code. +

The initial signal state of the new thread is inherited from it's +creating thread and there are no pending signals. Pthreads-w32 +does not yet implement signals.

The attr argument specifies thread attributes to be applied +to the new thread. See pthread_attr_init(3) +for a complete list of thread attributes. The attr argument +can also be NULL, in which case default attributes are used: +the created thread is joinable (not detached) and has default (non +real-time) scheduling policy. +

Return Value

On success, the identifier of the newly created thread is stored +in the location pointed by the thread argument, and a 0 is +returned. On error, a non-zero error code is returned. +

Errors

EAGAIN +
