This documentation explains functions used for developing applications that make use of classical NetWare® threads.
IMPORTANT:Access to functionality in the multi-processor kernel of the NetWare 5.x and 6.x OS is provided through the Libraries for C (LiBC). LibC provides a full set of mutex, reader-writer lock, condition variable, and semaphore API functions. It also provides functions for management of virtual machines (VMs), context and threads, general file and directory, and both physical and virtual memory.
