Prog Posix Threads Save

These are the source files for the programming examples in "Programming With POSIX(r) Threads". The Makefile is pre-configured for Digital UNIX, but includes the appropriate definitions to build on Solaris (uncomment the Solaris lines and comment the Digital UNIX lines).

Some of these examples have been repaired since the original printing of the book. Some differ from the examples printed in the latest printing, as well, because the changes were too large to fit. The signal-based suspend/resume program, susp.c, has been substantially revised to correct a number of problems with the original version.

Programs with arguments or special behavior:

alarm, alarm_fork, The alarm programs will prompt for alarm_thread, alarm_mutex, commands until terminated by ^D alarm_cond (EOF). Commands are " " where (the remainder of the line) is a message to print after seconds. atfork [hang] Run with an argument of 0 to omit atfork handlers -- program will hang. backoff [backoff [delay]] Run with first argument of 0, will not back off on mutex collision, and will usually hang. Second argument can be specified greater than 0 to yield (increasing chances of hang on uniprocessor), or less than 0 to sleep for a second. crew string path First argument is a search string, second is a file path. flock Threads will prompt alternately for input. pipe Prompts for integers to feed to pipeline; enter "=" to pop a result. putchar [unsync] Run with argument of 0 to concurrently call putchar_unlocked from multiple threads. server Threads each prompt for input, and echo it 3 times -- server prevents output while waiting for input. sigwait Waits for 5 SIGINT signals (^C) thread One thread writes to stdout while another waits for input from stdin. (Satisfy the read to exit.)
