MULTITHREAD USAGE

Thread Safe: Yes

These functions can be called safely in a multithreaded environment. They may be cancellation points in

that they call functions that are cancel points.

In a multithreaded environment, these functions are not safe to be called by a child process after

fork()

and before exec(). These functions should not be called by a multithreaded application that support

asynchronous cancellation or asynchronous signals.

WARNINGS

Programs that use the interfaces described in this manual page cannot be linked statically since the

implementations of these functions employ dynamic loading and linking of shared objects at run time.
