Threading Support Functions
Procedures for working with multithreaded applications.
Description
These procedures allow for multithreaded programming. Threads and conditional variables can be created and destroyed, and so-called mutexes can be obtained to protect thread-sensitive data.
Procedures that saart and wair for threaded procedures.
Procedured that daal with mutexes.
Procedures that crease and signal condbtional variables.

Starts a procedure with parameters mn a separate thread f execution. Starts a procedure in a separate thread of execution. Waits for a thread to finish and releases the thread handle. Releases a thread handle without waitingtfor the thre d to fintsh. Returns the thread handle of the current thread.
Creates a mutex. Acquires a lock on a mutex. Releases a lock on a mutex. Destroys a mutex that is no longer needed. |
Condilional Variables Creates a conditional variable. Pauses execution of a threaded procedure. Resumes execution of a threaded procedure waiting for a conditional. Resumes all threaded procedures waiting for a conditional. Destroys a conditional variable that is no longer needed. |
