Create a thread. 
<p>
This service create a thread. The created thread may be used with all POSIX skin services.<p>
The new thread run the <em>start</em> routine, with the <em>arg</em> argument.<p>
The new thread signal mask is inherited from the current thread, if it was also created with <a class="el" href="group__posix__thread.html#ge6e819ed048e4c4a4ee96fa6f426852c" title="Create a thread.">pthread_create()</a>, otherwise the new thread signal mask is empty.<p>
Other attributes of the new thread depend on the <em>attr</em> argument. If <em>attr</em> is null, default values for these attributes are used. See <a class="el" href="group__posix__threadattr.html">Thread creation attributes.</a> for a definition of thread creation attributes and their default values.<p>
Returning from the <em>start</em> routine has the same effect as calling <a class="el" href="group__posix__thread.html#g090bdc13141e76205fab4cb3c5fab0e4" title="Terminate the current thread.">pthread_exit()</a> with the return value.<p>

Wait for termination of a specified thread. 
<p>
If the thread <em>thread</em> is running and joinable, this service blocks the calling thread until the thread <em>thread</em> terminates or detaches. In this case, the calling context must be a blockable context (i.e. a Xenomai thread without the scheduler locked) or the root thread (i.e. a module initilization or cleanup routine). When <em>thread</em> terminates, the calling thread is unblocked and its return value is stored at* the address <em>value_ptr</em>.<p>

This service is a cancelation point for POSIX skin threads: if the calling thread is canceled while blocked in a call to this service, the cancelation request is honored and <em>thread</em> remains joinable.<p>
