Thread creation in c++

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi all!
Is there a function in c++ to create new threads.I have writen a class "Thread"
in which I will be calling this thread function to creat threads.
Also is there a function to synchronize threads .I know that we can create objects like semaphores and critical sections to synchronize in windows apps.But is there a similar function or object which can be used on solaris systems.Thanks for ur help.
Vij.

use man pages.. you can use the lpthread library direct in your C++ code. if you read the man pages there are samples on how to use the function and other functions related to threads.

USER > uname -a

USER > man pthread_create
