18.3 POSIX Threads Reference

 

As with most POSIX threads implementations, this one is slightly different than others. This section briefly covers the specific interfaces, but does not describe the semantics of each interface function in great detail. The reader is advised to consult the POSIX documentation for a more complete description. All of these functions, as well as the types necessary to use them, are defined in the header file <oskit/threads/pthread.h>.
