What are the best libraries for threading in C?

Some of the best libraries for threading in C include pthreads, OpenMP, and C11 threads. Would you like details on any specific one?

Can you explain how pthreads work?

Pthreads, or POSIX threads, provide a standard way to create and manage threads in C. You can create a thread using pthread_create, and manage it with functions like pthread_join and pthread_exit. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a simple example using pthreads.

Here's a simple example:

#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void* threadFunction(void* arg) {
    printf("Hello from the thread!\n");
    return NULL;
}

int main() {
    pthread_t thread;
    pthread_create(&thread, NULL, threadFunction, NULL);
    pthread_join(thread, NULL);
    return 0;
}

This creates a thread that runs threadFunction. Let me know if you have questions!
