Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c
These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the
user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np
suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA,
which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended).

I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff.

The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented
doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs
tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags.

also:

Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions.
The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was
inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with
libc.

also:

I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page.
It allows people to type

make -DWANT_LIBC_R world

to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the
pthread(3) man page.  The default is still not to build libc_r.


also:
The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3.
The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people
enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pthread_create
+.Nd create a new thread
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <pthread.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn pthread_create "pthread_t *thread" "const pthread_attr_t *attr" "void *(*start_routine)(void *)" "void *arg"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn pthread_create
+function is used to create a new thread, with attributes specified by
+.Fa attr ,
+within a process. If
+.Fa attr
+is NULL, the default attributes are used. If the attributes specified by
+.Fa attr
+are modified later, the thread's attributes are not affected. Upon
+successful completion
+.Fn pthread_create
+will store the ID of the created thread in the location specified by
+.Fa thread .
+.Pp
+The thread is created executing
+.Fa start_routine
+with
+.Fa arg
+as its sole argument. If the
+.Fa start_routine
+returns, the effect is as if there was an implicit call to
+.Fn pthread_exit
+using the return value of
+.Fa start_toutine
+as the exit status. Note that the thread in which
+.Fn main
+was originally invoked differs from this. When it returns from
+.Fn main ,
+the effect is as if there was an implicit call to
+.Fn exit using the return value of
+.Fn main
+as the exit status.
+.Pp
+The signal state of the new thread is initialized as:
+.Bl -bullet -offset indent
+.It
+The signal mask is inherited from the creating thread.
+.It
+The set of signals pending for the new thread is empty.
+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If successful,  the
+.Fn pthread_create
+function will return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to
+indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn pthread_create
+will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EAGAIN
+The system lacked the necessary resources to create another thread, or
+the system-imposed limit on the total number of threads in a process
+[PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX] would be exceeded.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The value specified by
+.Fa attr
+is invalid.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr pthread_exit 3 ,
+.Xr pthread_join 3 ,
+.Xr fork 2
+.Sh STANDARDS
+.Fn pthread_create
+is expected to conform to IEEE
+.Pq Dq Tn POSIX
+Std 1003.1c when it is published.
