Threads

Thread functions include functions for creating your own threads that are compatible with the server’s threads. There are also routines for critical sections and condition variables.

• systhread_start creates a new thread.

• systhread_sleep puts a thread to sleep for a given time.

• crit_init creates a new critical section variable.

• crit_enter gains ownership of a critical section.

• crit_exit surrenders ownership of a critical section.

• crit_terminate disposes of a critical section variable.

• condvar_init creates a new condition variable.

• condvar_notify awakens any threads blocked on a condition variable.

• condvar_wait blocks on a condition variable.

• condvar_terminate disposes of a condition variable.

• prepare_nsapi_thread allows threads that are not created by the server to act like server-created threads.
