DESCRIPTION
As of ISO/IEC 9899:2011 ("ISO C11"), the C standard includes an API for
writing multithreaded applications. Since POSIX.1 already includes a
threading API that is used by virtually any multithreaded application,
the interface provided by the C standard can be considered superfluous.
In this implementation, the threading interface is therefore implemented
as a light-weight layer on top of existing interfaces. The functions to
which these routines are mapped, are listed in the following table.
Please refer to the documentation of the POSIX equivalent functions for
more information.
Function POSIX equivalent
call_once() pthread_once(3)
cnd_broadcast() pthread_cond_broadcast(3)
cnd_destroy() pthread_cond_destroy(3)
cnd_init() pthread_cond_init(3)
cnd_signal() pthread_cond_signal(3)
cnd_timedwait() pthread_cond_timedwait(3)
cnd_wait() pthread_cond_wait(3)
mtx_destroy() pthread_mutex_destroy(3)
mtx_init() pthread_mutex_init(3)

mtx_timedlock() pthread_mutex_timedlock(3)
mtx_trylock() pthread_mutex_trylock(3)

thrd_create() pthread_create(3)
thrd_current() pthread_self(3)
thrd_detach() pthread_detach(3)
thrd_equal() pthread_equal(3)
thrd_exit() pthread_exit(3)
thrd_join() pthread_join(3)
thrd_sleep() nanosleep(2)
thrd_yield() pthread_yield(3)
thrd_join(), whereas the pthread_exit() function uses a pointer.
The mutex created by mtx_init() can be of type mtx_plain or mtx_timed to
distinguish between a mutex that supports mtx_timedlock(). This type can
be or'd with mtx_recursive to create a mutex that allows recursive
acquisition. These properties are normally set using
pthread_mutex_init()'s attr parameter.
RETURN VALUES
If successful, the cnd_broadcast(), cnd_init(), cnd_signal(),
cnd_timedwait(), cnd_wait(), mtx_init(), mtx_lock(), mtx_timedlock(),
mtx_trylock(), mtx_unlock(), thrd_create(), thrd_detach(), thrd_equal(),
thrd_join(), thrd_sleep(), tss_create() and tss_set() functions return
thrd_success. Otherwise an error code will be returned to indicate the
error.
The thrd_current() function returns the thread ID of the calling thread.
The tss_get() function returns the thread-specific data value associated
with the given key. If no thread-specific data value is associated with
key, then the value NULL is returned.
ERRORS
The cnd_init() and thrd_create() functions will fail if:
thrd_nomem The system has insufficient memory.
The cnd_timedwait() and mtx_timedlock() functions will fail if:
thrd_timedout The system time has reached or exceeded the time specified
in ts before the operation could be completed.
The mtx_trylock() function will fail if:
thrd_busy The mutex is already locked.
In all other cases, these functions may fail by returning general error
code thrd_error.

STANDARDS
These functions are expected to conform to ISO/IEC 9899:2011 ("ISO C11").
