Hello,
Thanxs for all the answers in response to my post.
As I understand , all pf you talk about POSIX threads.
Is the only possibility of using thread in UNIX is
by POSIX threads?

I saw , for example, in this newsgroup the following example:
(http://groups.google.com/groups?q=threads+group:comp.unix.programmer&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&group=comp.unix.programmer&selm=1012544105.263965%40sj-nntpcache-3&rnum=2)

Does it use the POSIX threads?

************* Code ***************
#include <thread.h>
#include <signal.h>

void default_signal_handler(int signal) {
  printf("tid = %d in signal handler\n", thr_self());
}

void func(void) {
  printf("thread tid = %d created\n", thr_self());
  signal(SIGURG, default_signal_handler);
  select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0);
  while(1);
}

int main() {
  unsigned int tid1, tid2;
  int ret;

  thr_create(NULL, NULL, (void *)func, NULL, THR_DETACHED, &tid1);
  thr_create(NULL, NULL, (void *)func, NULL, THR_DETACHED, &tid2);

  sleep(1);

  thr_kill(tid1, SIGURG);
  thr_kill(tid2, SIGURG);

  while (1);
}

regards
john
