Description

This article is from the Threads Programming FAQ, by Bryan O'Sullivan bos@serpentine.com with numerous contributions by others.

2.2. How to read this FAQ (comp.programming.threads)

Some headers in this FAQ are preceded by words in parentheses, such as
"(POSIX)". This indicates that the sections in question are specific
to a particular threads family, or to the implementation provided by a
specific vendor.

Wherever it may not otherwise be obvious that a particular section
refers only to some families or implementations, you will find one or
more of the following key words to help you.
Key Implementation
DCE OSF/DCE threads (POSIX draft 4)
OS/2 IBM OS/2 threads
POSIX POSIX 1003.1c-1995 standard threads
UI Unix International threads
Unix Of general relevance to Unix users
WIN32 Microsoft Win32 API threads
