Have a look at this code : (also included as an attachment to avoid
mail-spaghetti)

-------- cut here --------

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>

void TheThread (char *Text) {

	printf("text: %s\n",Text);

	pthread_exit("lalala");
}


int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

	pthread_t	ThreadID;
	const char	Hello[] = "Hello world!";
	char		*ReturnString;


	// Start the thread...
	pthread_create(&ThreadID,NULL,(pthread_startroutine_t)&TheThread,&Hello);


	// Wait for the thread to exit
	pthread_join(ThreadID,(void **)&ReturnString);

	printf("return value: %s\n",ReturnString);

	return 0;
}
-------- cut here --------

compile with :
gcc -Wall -pthread test.c -o test
