🌸 PROLOG 🌸

okay so real talk first, bestie 💖 — this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. That's the vibe. But heads up: the Linux implementation of this interface may differ, so pls consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the actual Linux behavior, iykyk. Or — plot twist — the interface may not even be implemented on Linux at all. 🙈 so yeah, check before you commit, fr fr.

✨ NAME ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <pthread.h>
