Differences Between the Previous
and Current Standards
This appendix contains:
Reference Pages for Thread Functions on page E-1
Changed Thread Functions on page E-2
Reference Pages for Thread Functions
For full syntax and usage information about the Standard POSIX Threads functions,
see the Open System Services System Calls Reference Manual.
Full reference and syntax information for the SERVERCLASS_SEND and TMF
transaction demarcation jacket routines is available online in the OSS environment
using the man command.
Standard POSIX Threads does not support every thread function listed in the reference
pages; for example, the various pthread_rwlock, pthread_nsg, pthread_rad,
and pthread_exc functions are not part of the Standard. Many of the supported
functions are changed as well. Differences between the previous standard and the
current standard are described in the tables in this appendix.
Also, the error values supported by Tru64 UNIX contain extensions that are not
supported by Standard POSIX Threads. Supported error values are those listed in the
Standard document.
All the thread functions are listed in the Open System Services Programmer’s Guide.
