Multi-thread

Q:
Hello I was woundering what is multi-thread programming and how can I use
it?

I would also like to know how to do multi-thread programming in the c
programming language.

A:
Multi-threading is when you start a subroutine (C function) that starts to
run, but your caller also runs parallel in the same process as the called
function. This can be multiplied and multiplied and several threads of
execution can run in the same program.

C libraries provide functions to start, stop, join etc threads. See some
tutorial on multi-threading.

regards,
Peter
