"The purpose of this document is to supplement the base standard with interfaces and functionality to support multiple flows of control, called threads, within a process. The facilities provided represent a small set of  syntactic and semantic extensions to ISO/IEC 9945-1: 1990 in order to support a convenient interface for multi-threading functions"--P. vi.
