Note to mods: this is not a C programming problem. A thread is smaller, faster, and more maneuverable than a traditional process. Pthreads (a.k.a POSIX Threads), is another parallel programming model over Shared Memory Computers, which is categorized to Threads Based Model (the other is message passing based model). For UNIX systems, a standardized C language threads programming interface has been specified by the IEEE POSIX 1003.1c standard. POSIX Pthreads are a popular example of an API that supports this generic capability. It probably belongs in a unix programming forum (although posix threads are more widely available than unix, that is where they are used most often). Technical A good tutorial to learn about POSIX threads programming -. Thread" is just a name for a basic software "thing" that can do work on a computer.
