[COPY] --- SDE-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [I] GNU Portable Threads [T] GNU Portable Threads (Pth) is a very portable POSIX/ANSI-C [T] based library for Unix platforms providing non-preemptive [T] priority-based scheduling for multiple threads of execution [T] (multithreading) inside server applications. All [T] threads run in the same address space, but each thread has its own [T] individual program-counter, run-time stack, signal mask and errno [T] variable. The scheduling is done in a cooperative way, i.e. the [T] threads are dispatched based on priority and pending events. The [T] event facility allows threads to wait until various types of events [T] occur, including pending I/O on filedescriptors, elapsed timers, [T] pending I/O on message ports, thread and process termination, [T] and even customized callback functions.
