Refer to the sample code to understand:

#include 
#include 

void myThread(void* ptr) {
    printf("Hello in thread\n");
    int i=0;    
    for(;i<10;i++)
    {
        sleep(1);
        printf(". ");
        fflush(stdout);  //comment this, to see the difference in O/P
    }
    printf("sleep over now\n");
}

int main(void) {
    pthread_t tid;
    printf("creating a new thread\n");
    pthread_create(&tid, NULL, (void*)myThread, 0);
    printf("going to join with child thread..\n");
    pthread_join(tid, NULL);
    printf("joined..!!\n");
    return 0;
}
