Thread Libraries

This allows the programmer to manage threads

this can be done by:

1. Using a user-space library (only gives access to user-space threads)

2. Using a kernel-level library

Pthreads

Example

• May be provided either as user-level or kernel-level

• A POSIX standard (IEEE 1003.1c) API for thread creation and synchronization

• Specification, not implementation

• API specifies behavior of the thread library, implementation is up to development of the library

• Common in UNIX operating systems (Linux & Mac OS X)
