(description
|
|
"Pth is a very portable POSIX/ANSI-C based library for Unix
|
|
platforms which provides non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for
|
|
multiple threads of execution (aka ``multithreading'') inside
|
|
event-driven applications. All threads run in the same address space of
|
|
the server application, but each thread has it's own individual
|
|
program-counter, run-time stack, signal mask and errno variable.
|
|
|
|
The thread scheduling itself is done in a cooperative way, i.e., the
|
|
threads are managed by a priority- and event-based non-preemptive
|
|
scheduler. The intention is that this way one can achieve better
|
|
portability and run-time performance than with preemptive
|
|
scheduling. The event facility allows threads to wait until various
|
|
types of events occur, including pending I/O on file descriptors,
|
|
asynchronous signals, elapsed timers, pending I/O on message ports,
|
|
thread and process termination, and even customized callback functions.
|
|
|
|
Additionally Pth provides an optional emulation API for POSIX.1c
|
|
threads (\"Pthreads\") which can be used for backward compatibility to
|
|
existing multithreaded applications.")
