Detailed Description

POSIX threading support.

This file contains functions and declarations related to POSIX threading support. Please note that this support is not exactly actually POSIX- compliant, but it provides much of the functionality that is useful in porting code to KOS.

It is not recommended to use this POSIX threading support in code designed specifically for KOS – instead it is recommended to use the built-in threading support provided in-kernel. Most of the support defined in this file is just wrapper functions around the in-kernel functionality.

In-depth documentation of POSIX threading can be found in IEEE Std 1003.1-2017. An online version of the documentation for this header in that specification can be found at the following URL: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/pthread.h.html
