-.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
-.Dv 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_routine
-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
-The
-.Fn pthread_create
-function 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.
