There is the _lwp_* family of functions which are intended to be used only
by the thread library.  The thread library has a pthread_* wrapper, or it is
directly accessible via the thr_* functions.  There is an excellent book
from sun press called "Threads Primer : A Guide to Solaris Multithreaded
Programming " that covers these topics.
