我应该在Linux上使用哪个线程库用于多线程C程序？

Question

I've done threads in Java, but I'm a complete noob to threads in C. My first question, after googling some, is: Which thread library do I use? Does it matter? It seems I have thread.h and pthread.h to choose from.

OS is, and will be, Linux. More specifically, it's Ubuntu at the moment and will either stay like that, or become RHEL. But I guess the distro doesn't matter?

Answer 1

The POSIX thread libraries ( pthread.h ) are a standards based thread API for C/C++ and is what I would use. There are also several tutorials available such as this one or this one .

I will admit that I am not familiar with thread.h .

Answer 2

POSIX系统（如linux）上的标准线程接口是pthread，用于POSIX线程。
