97 #004 _____________________________________________________________________________ Topic: pthread.h Relevant Sections: pthread.h Spec: XSH Issue 5 Resolution Request: ------------------- In XSH Issue 5 volume 2, the <pthread.h> header omits prototypes for pthread_atfork, pthread_kill and pthread_sigmask. Resolution Response ------------------- XSH5 followed the function synopses in POSIX 1003.1c-1995. pthread_atfork() is in <unistd.h> pthread_kill() and pthread_sigmask() are in <signal.h> Some of the POSIX 1003.1c-1995 synopses contradict section 2.7.3 of P1003.1c, as such POSIX is ambiguous. See PASC interpretations P1003.1c-1995 #4, #9, #41 and #42 which deal with various header issues. Rationale ------------- None. Circulated for review: Jul 2nd 1997 Approved: February 1998
