pthread library provides an implementation of the
standard POSIX threads library.
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.
