Hi,

pthread isn't C.  pthread is machine code.  The source code may have been 
in C (or any other programming language for that matter) but you don't 
execute C.  Back in the olden days they used to document OS interface calls 
in a programming language independent manner, that made it a little clearer.

At any rate, while the following information is somewhat outdated, you may 
find it useful:
