<h1 class="topictitle1">Start a thread</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>When your application creates a new thread, the system initializes
|
||
|
|
a thread object, control structures, and runtime support. These allow the
|
||
|
|
new thread to use language constructs and system services safely.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In addition, you might need to initialize the application data and parameters
|
||
|
|
the new thread uses before starting the new thread.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>As you create each thread, the system assigns it a unique thread identifier.
|
||
|
|
The thread identifier is an integer value that you can use when you debug,
|
||
|
|
trace, or perform other administrative activities on the thread. You typically
|
||
|
|
do not use this thread identifier to directly manipulate the thread.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Most threads API sets also return a thread object or handle that represents
|
||
|
|
the newly created thread. You can use this thread object to manipulate the
|
||
|
|
new thread or as a synchronization object to wait for the thread to finish
|
||
|
|
its processing.</p>
