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_key_create
+.Nd thread-specific data key creation
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <pthread.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn pthread_key_create "pthread_key_t *key" "void (*destructor)(void *)"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn pthread_key_create
+function creates a thread-specific data key visible to all threads in the
+process. Key values provided by
+.Fn pthread_key_create
+are opaque objects used to locate thread-specific data. Although the same
+key value may be used by different threads, the values bound to the key
+by
+.Fn pthread_setspecific
+are maintained on a per-thread basis and persist for the life of the calling
+thread.
+.Pp
+Upon key creation, the value NULL is associated with the new key in all
+active threads. Upon thread creation, the value NULL is associated with all
+defined keys in the new thread.
+.Pp
+An optional destructor function may be associated with each key value. At
+thread exit, if a key value has a non-NULL destructor pointer, and the
+thread has a non-NULL value associated with the key, the function pointed
+to is called with the current associated value as its sole argument. The
+order of destructor calls is unspecified if more than one destructor exists
+for a thread when it exits.
+.Pp
+If, after all the destructors have been called for all non-NULL values
+with associated destructors, there are still some non-NULL values with
+associated destructors, then the process is repeated. If, after at least
+[PTHREAD_DESTRUCTOR_ITERATIONS] iterations of destructor calls for
+outstanding non-NULL values, there are still some non-NULL values with
+associated destructors, the implementation stops calling destructors.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If successful, the
+.Fn pthread_key_create
+function will store the newly created key value at the location specified by
+.Fa key
+and returns zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate
+the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn pthread_key_create
+will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EAGAIN
+The system lacked the necessary resources to create another thread-specific
+data key, or the system-imposed limit on the total number of keys per process
+[PTHREAD_KEYS_MAX] would be exceeded.
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+Insufficient memory exists to create the key.

+.Sh STANDARDS
+.Fn pthread_key_create
+is expected to conform to IEEE
+.Pq Dq Tn POSIX
+Std 1003.1c when it is published.
