- Summary
- Based on the best-selling Threads Primer, Multithreaded Programming with Pthreads gives you a solid understanding of Posix threads: what they are, how they work, when to use them, and how to optimize them. It retains the clarity and humor of the Primer, but includes expanded comparisons to Win32 and OS/2 implementations. Code examples tested on all of the major UNIX platforms are featured along with detailed explanations of how and why they use threads.
- More than anything else this is a practical book - it tells you what can and cannot be done with threads and why. In short, everything you need to know to build faster, smarter, multithreaded applications.
