The Compaq proprietary TIS interface provides routines that
you use to build thread-safe libraries whose own routines
do not create threads, but which can safely be called from
a multithreaded environment. TIS routines are functionally
identical to their corresponding routines in the PTHREAD
interface. See the Guide to the POSIX Threads Library
documentation for more information.
In a program that creates threads, TIS routines provide full
thread synchronization and memory coherence. But, when run in
a program that does not use threads, the same TIS calls provide
low-overhead "stub" implementations of PTHREAD features. That
is, the objects created using the TIS interface are the same as
PTHREAD objects. When threads are present, the guidelines for
using PTHREAD routines apply also to the use of the corresponding
TIS routine.
