void thread(void)
{
int i;
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
printf("This is a pthread.n");
}
int main(void)
{
pthread_t id;
int i,ret;
ret=pthread_create(&id,NULL,(void *) thread,NULL);
if(ret!=0){
printf ("Create pthread error!n");
exit (1);
}
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
printf("This is the main process.n");
pthread_join(id,NULL);
return (0);
}
我们编译此程序：
gcc example1.c -lpthread -o example1
运行example1，我们得到如下结果：
This is the main process.
This is a pthread.
This is the main process.
This is the main process.
This is a pthread.
This is a pthread.
再次运行，我们可能得到如下结果：
This is a pthread.
This is the main process.
This is a pthread.
This is the main process.
This is a pthread.
This is the main process.
前后两次结果不一样，这是两个线程争夺CPU资源的结果。上面的示例中，我们使用到了两个函数， pthread_create和pthread_join，并声明了一个pthread_t型的变量。
pthread_t在头文件/usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h中定义：
typedef unsigned long int pthread_t;
它是一个线程的标识符。函数pthread_create用来创建一个线程，它的原型为：
extern int pthread_create __P ((pthread_t *__thread, __const pthread_attr_t *__attr,
void *(*__start_routine) (void *), void *__arg));
