（1）int pthread_create(pthread_t *thread,pthread_attr_t *attr,void *(*start_routine)(void *),void *arg);
pthread_t pthread_self(void);
（2）int pthread_equal(pthread_t thread1,pthread_t thread2);
（3）int pthread_once(pthread_once_t *once_control,void(*init_routine)(void));

1.線程創(chuàng)建： 
int pthread_create(pthread_t thread,pthread_attr_t *attr,void (start_routine)(void ),void *arg); 
pthread_t pthread_self(void); 
參數(shù)說明： 
thread：指向pthread_create類型的指針，用于引用新創(chuàng)建的線程。 
attr：用于設(shè)置線程的屬性，一般不需要特殊的屬性，所以可以簡(jiǎn)單地設(shè)置為NULL。 
（start_routine)(void )：傳遞新線程所要執(zhí)行的函數(shù)地址。 
arg：新線程所要執(zhí)行的函數(shù)的參數(shù)。 
調(diào)用如果成功，則返回值是0，如果失敗則返回錯(cuò)誤代碼。 
2.線程終止 
void pthread_exit(void *retval); 
參數(shù)說明： 
retval：返回指針，指向線程向要返回的某個(gè)對(duì)象。 
線程通過調(diào)用pthread_exit函數(shù)終止執(zhí)行，并返回一個(gè)指向某對(duì)象的指針。注意：絕不能用它返回一個(gè)指向局部變量的指針，因?yàn)榫€程調(diào)用該函數(shù)后，這個(gè)局部變量就不存在了，這將引起嚴(yán)重的程序漏洞。 
3.線程同步 
int pthread_join(pthread_t th, void **thread_return); 
參數(shù)說明： 
th：將要等待的線程，線程通過pthread_create返回的標(biāo)識(shí)符來(lái)指定。 
thread_return：一個(gè)指針，指向另一個(gè)指針，而后者指向線程的返回值。
