Introduction to NPth
The NPth package contains a very
portable POSIX/ANSI-C based library for Unix platforms which
provides non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for multiple
threads of execution (multithreading) inside event-driven
applications. All threads run in the same address space of the
server application, but each thread has its own individual
program-counter, run-time stack, signal mask and errno variable.
Note
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages
properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most
recent stable versions of the books.
