Multi-threading in C

[christoforever]

hey guys i didnt know where to post this, but this seemed as good a place as any. Are there any libraries for multi-threading in C? I've been doing java programming for quite some time, seeing as this is all they teach at my university. I've just recently got back into programming in C, and couldent find any good sources for multi-threading. Any help would be greatly appreciated, or a point in the right direction.

sincerely,
Chris Dancy

man pthreads :)

The basic mechanism is pthread.h:

There's also GNU Pth:

A nice feature you get by using Pthreads is ease portability, as a very good (and GPL, too!) Pthreads implementation exists for w32, in addition to every unix supporting it natively.

Don't forget those mutex locks... otherwise you will get some crazy numbers and have no idea where they are coming from.
