Threading Support Functions
Procedures for working with multithreaded applications.
Description
These procedures allow for multithreaded programming. Threads and conditional variables can be created and destroyed, and so-called mutexes can be obtained to protect thread-sensitive data.
Threads
Procedures that start and wait for threaded procedures.
Conditional Varables
Procedures that create and signal conditional variables.
Mutexes
Procedures that deal with mutexes.

Threads ThreadCreate Starts a procedure in a separate thread of execution. ThreadWait Waits until a threaded procedure has finished.
Conditional Variables
CondCreate
Creates a conditional variable.
CondWait
Pauses execution of a threaded procedure.
CondSignal
Resumes execution of a threaded procedure waiting for a conditional.
CondBroadcast
Resumes all threaded procedures waiting for a conditional.
CondDestroy
Destroys a conditional variable that is no longer needed.
Mutexes
MutexCreate
Creates a mutex.
MutexLock
Acquires a lock on a mutex.
MutexUnlock
Releases a lock on a mutex.
MutexDestroy
Destroys a mutex that is no longer needed.

Platform Differences
