Thanks, I'll take a look at it.  

I had a chance to grep through /usr/bin for 'pthread', and found 
that almost everything appears to implement pthreads.  Unfortunately,
grepping through /usr/sbin revealed that sshd (nor ssh from previous
search) does not implement pthreads.  I had hoped that a package like
OpenSSH, which has a solid reputation, would have been a good example.
Oh well, qmail doesn't appear to either...  Back to the books. *8v)

Perhaps apache or postfix?  I don't use either, so I'll have to d'l them
later...

Apache does implement pthread starting from version 2

Hi,

the following (ugly) script lists all files (from /usr/bin) with
libpthread usage.

result looks like:
./tail               uses libpthread
./python2.2          uses libpthread
./python             uses libpthread
./rpm2cpio           uses libpthread
./dig                uses libpthread
./host               uses libpthread
./nslookup           uses libpthread
./nsupdate           uses libpthread
./diff               uses libpthread
<big-snip>


# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

CMD_FILE=/usr/bin/file
CMD_LDD=/usr/bin/ldd
CMD_GREP=/bin/grep
CMD_PATH_TO_SEARCH=/usr/bin
LIB_STRING=libpthread

FILES=`find $PATH_TO_SEARCH -type f`
for file in $FILES; do
	$CMD_FILE $file | $CMD_GREP dynamic 1>&2>/dev/null
	if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
		$CMD_LDD $file | $CMD_GREP $LIB_STRING 1>&2>/dev/null
		if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
			printf "%-20s uses $LIB_STRING\n" $file
		fi
	fi
done
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------


hope this helps.

good pthreads example?

[Jason Cooper]

Hey all,

I've been learning pthreads for the past week or so.  So far, I've read
through the man pages, "Pthreads Programming" from O'Reilly, an old
copy of POSIX 4, and other various google searches.

What I'm looking for is a good example (open source, of course) of 
pthreads in practice.  It doesn't matter whether it's boss/worker,
peer/peer, or assembly line.  I'm looking for practical examples to
learn from.  

The O'Reilly book has a good ATM (cash machine, client/server) example,
but it isn't implemented in the real world...

TIA,

Cooper.

PS - I know grepping through source will provide plenty of examples of
pthreads in action, but I wouldn't know if they are sound
implementations or not.

Re: good pthreads example?

[Raghuveer]

Hi Cooper,

I donno whether this basic example will be enough for ur requirement, 
anyway here it is,
You can try creating the thread like...
void func(void);
main()
{
    pthread_t tid;
    retVal = pthread_create(&tid, NULL, (void *)func, (void *) NULL);
    /* validate here with retVal */
}

void
func(void)
{
    pthread_detach(pthread_self()); /* if detached thread */
    /* some printf */
}

Pls ignore if this is very basic.

Regards
-Raghu

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately, what I'm looking for is a
recommendation of a good FS/OSS package to look at which implements
pthreads.  

As usual, my long-windedness confused the issue :)
