Linux thread problem

Linux thread problem

[sachin kitnawat]

Hi  All,
	
	I am porting an Threading Application from Hp-UX 11.0 
to Red Hat Linux 6.2. There is a system call pthread_condattr_setpshared 
and pthread_mutex_setpshared in HP-UX which is not available on Linux.
So please let me know how to implement the functionality of these 
funtions in Red Hat Linux 6.2. These functions are used to set the 
process shared attribute in a condition and mutex variable attributes
 object.

Thanks in Advance 
Sachin

Newer glibc versions (2.2+) have this.

Try 

  http://sources.redhat.com/glibc/

Note that all this is user space, not kernel space.

They are actually library not system calls in Linux and may well not be
in earlier glibc. You might want to see if glibc2.2 has them. 

For Red Hat stuff there are Red Hat lists
