Now that multithreaded programming has brought concurrent processing within the reach of a far greater number of businesses and academic institutions, experienced UNIX C programmers need a comprehensive reference to help them take full advantage of this exciting new development. Programming with UNIX Threads is the book to fill that need.

The most complete book available on the practical applications of UNIX Threads, this invaluable guide is packed with useful, concise examples that both clarify complex information and help you develop a glossary of practical functions that can be easily reused. Charles J. Northrup supplements his detailed, step-by-step presentation with numerous illustrations and code segments as he examines all important aspects of UNIX Threads programming, including:
* An overview of multiprocessing and multithreaded programming
* Practical programming problems associated with synchronization, including mutex locks, condition variables, Reader-Writer locks, and more
* Thread signal management in the extended process model
* Scheduling and priorities

The book concludes with the creation of ADAM (a dynamic atom manager), a multithreaded software utility in which all concepts previously discussed are unified to provide a higher level view of parallelism within applications.
