Next: POSIX Threads, Up: Threads [Contents][Index]
This section describes the GNU C Library ISO C threads implementation. To have a deeper understanding of this API, it is strongly recommended to read ISO/IEC 9899:2011, section 7.26, in which ISO C threads were originally specified. All types and function prototypes are declared in the header file threads.h.
• ISO C Threads Return Values: | Symbolic constants that represent a function’s return value. | |
• ISO C Thread Management: | Support for basic threading. | |
• Call Once: | Single-call functions and macros. | |
• ISO C Mutexes: | A low-level mechanism for mutual exclusion. | |
• ISO C Condition Variables: | High-level objects for thread synchronization. | |
• ISO C Thread-local Storage: | Functions to support thread-local storage. |
