libthr(3)

NAME

libthr - alternative POSIX threads library

LIBRARY

library ``libthr''

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h>

DESCRIPTION

The libthr library provides an alternative 1:1 implementa

tion of the
pthread(3) library interfaces for application threading.

While applications may be linked directly against libthr, system adminis

trators are
offered maximum flexibility by linking against pthread(3),

as they can
then use libmap.conf(5) to select the threading implementa

tion on a perapplication basis.

The libthr library has been optimized for use by applica

tions expecting
system scope thread semantics, and can provide significant

performance
improvements.

AUTHORS

The libthr library was originally created by Jeff Roberson
<jeff@FreeBSD.org>, and enhanced by Jonathan Mini <mi

ni@FreeBSD.org> and
Mike Makonnen <mtm@FreeBSD.org>. It has been substantially

rewritten and
optimized by David Xu <davidxu@FreeBSD.org>.
