# Threads, Synchronisation

 1. We will look at threads that run within a single process today.
 2. To create and work with threads, we will use the ‹pthread› API.
 3. In addition to thread creation and management, there is a number
    of ‹pthread› functions that implement synchronisation
    primitives.
 4. We will try out communication using shared memory (global
    variables).
 5. In the second half, we will try mutexes, semaphores and
    barriers.

Let's start by creating a thread:

    $ micro thread.c
