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 cancellationor asynchronous signals.
WARNINGS
Programs that use the interfaces described in this manual page cannot be linked statically since the imple-
mentations of these functions employ dynamic loading and linking of shared objects at run time.
