| PTHREAD(3) | Library Functions Manual | PTHREAD(3) |
The NetBSD implementation is based on 1:1 thread model, therefore each pthread has a kernel thread, called a light-weight process (LWP).
Note that the system private thread interfaces upon which the pthread library is built are subject to change without notice. In order to remain compatible with future NetBSD releases, programs must be linked against the dynamic version of the thread library. Statically linked programs using the POSIX threads framework may not work when run on a future version of the system.
