This is a guide to the <code>pthread_hello</code> C example project included in the EMAC OE SDK.

This is a simple pthreads example application. A number of pthread nodes are created and each reports its existence by printing a hello message to the console.

The term ''pthread'' refers to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PThread POSIX Threads], a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX POSIX] standard for threads.
