Are there any differences between thread_create() and pthread_create() in C?

Why I can not issue 'man thread_create' in HP-UX?

Thanks.

pthread_create refers to POSIX threads. The orginal threading model on HP didn't use Posix thraeds, it used DCE threads. To differentiate between the old (DCE) threads and the new (Posix) threads, HP uses pthread_create() and the pthread library.

Thanks for your reply.

Can I get the man page for thread_create on HP-UX?

Regards.

Which version of HPUX are you using? If you are running 11.* then you really should be using pthreads.
