MULTITHREAD USAGE
Thread Safe: Yes
Cancel Safe: Yes
Fork Safe: No
Async-cancel Safe: No
Async-signal Safe: No
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 manpage cannot be linked statically since the implemen-
tations of these functions employ dynamic loading and linking of shared objects at run time.
