Open any book on the subject and skim the first couple of
chapters.

Here's a trivial example from one such book.  I offer no comment
on its style (or on what it does, since all the books do that).
It does build and run on FreeBSD-2.2.8-R (and probably other
versions).


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

void do_one_thing(int *);
void do_another_thing(int *);
void do_wrap_up(int, int);

int r1 = 0, r2 = 0;

extern int
main(void)
{
  pthread_t       thread1, thread2;
 
  if (pthread_create(&thread1, 
		     NULL, (void *) do_one_thing, (void *) &r1) != 0)
    perror("pthread_create"), exit(1); 

  if (pthread_create(&thread2, 
		     NULL, (void *) do_another_thing, (void *) &r2) != 0)
    perror("pthread_create"), exit(1); 

  if (pthread_join(thread1, NULL) != 0)
    perror("pthread_join"), exit(1);

  if (pthread_join(thread2, NULL) != 0)
    perror("pthread_join"), exit(1);

  do_wrap_up(r1, r2);
  return 0; 
}

void do_one_thing(int *pnum_times)
{
  int		i, j, x;

  for (i = 0;  i < 4; i++) {
    printf("doing one thing\n"); 
    for (j = 0; j < 10000; j++)
      x = x + i;
    (*pnum_times)++;
  }
}

void do_another_thing(int *pnum_times)
{
  int		i, j, x;

  for (i = 0;  i < 4; i++) {
    printf("doing another \n"); 
    for (j = 0; j < 10000; j++)
      x = x + i;
    (*pnum_times)++;
  }
}

void do_wrap_up(int one_times, int another_times)
{
  int		total;

  total = one_times + another_times;
  printf("All done, one thing %d, another %d for a total of %d\n",
	 one_times, another_times, total);
}
