	Copyright Preface 1. Covering Multithreading Basics 2. Basic Threads Programming 3. Thread Create Attributes 4. Programming with Synchronization Objects 5. Programming With the Operating Environment 6. Safe and Unsafe Interfaces 7. Compiling and Debugging 8. Programming With Solaris Threads Comparing APIs for Solaris Threads and POSIX Threads Major API Differences Function Comparison Table Unique Solaris Threads Functions Suspend Thread Execution Continue a Suspended Thread Similar Synchronization Functions--Read-Write Locks Initialize a Read-Write Lock Acquire a Read Lock Try to Acquire a Read Lock Acquire a Write Lock Try to Acquire a Write Lock Unlock a Read-Write Lock Destroy Read-Write Lock State Similar Solaris Threads Functions Create a Thread Get the Minimal Stack Size Get the Thread Identifier Yield Thread Execution Send a Signal to a Thread Access the Signal Mask of the Calling Thread Terminate a Thread Wait for Thread Termination Create a Thread-Specific Data Key Set Thread-Specific Data Get Thread-Specific Data Set the Thread Priority Get the Thread Priority Similar Synchronization Functions--Mutual Exclusion Locks Initialize a Mutex Destroy a Mutex Acquire a Mutex Release a Mutex Try to Acquire a Mutex Similar Synchronization Functions--Condition Variables Initialize a Condition Variable Destroy a Condition Variable Wait for a Condition Wait for an Absolute Time Wait for a Time Interval Unblock One Thread Unblock All Threads Similar Synchronization Functions--Semaphores Initialize a Semaphore Increment a Semaphore Block on a Semaphore Count Decrement a Semaphore Count Destroy the Semaphore State Synchronization Across Process Boundaries Using LWPs Between Processes Producer/Consumer Problem Example Special Issues for fork() and Solaris Threads 9. Programming Guidelines A. Sample Application--Multithreaded `grep` B. Solaris Threads Example: `barrier.c` Index
