+PTH is a very portable POSIX/ANSI-C based library for Unix platforms which
+provides non-preemptive scheduling for multiple threads of execution
+("multithreading") inside server applications. All threads run in the same
+address space of the server application, but each thread has its own
+individual program-counter, run-time stack, signal mask and errno variable.
