hi,
  I wrote a threaded program and ran it. When i did
top , i saw a numbers of instances of the same program
running with different pids. Since a thread exist in a
process, therefore there should have been only one
instance of the process not many. I want to know how
freeBSD implements pthreads and would it be advantages
to use threads in freeBSD as compare to forking
multiple instances.
thanks
manas
