Subject: does pthread package support kernel threads ?

Hi,
	FreeBSD provides the pthread package (available through the
use of the option -pthread to gcc). Does this package use user-level
threads or does it use kernel threads ? I believe the kernel supports
multiple threads in the same address space using the rfork() system 
call.
