Hi,
I am wondering whether NetBSD has a thread library which is similar to the
Solaris thread model, eg user threads bound to LWPs. Is there a defacto
standard thread library for NetBSD? I can see there are kernel threads, can
these be scheduled over multiple processors (SMP)? Or does one just use a
complete user-side thread library. I have a snapshot of the CURRENT
workspace, the libpthread directory seems to be devoid of any .c files, have
I missed something. Is there a pointer to recommended thread practices with
NetBSD?

Regards,
Peter.
