Answer 1

Yes one of doing this is to use pthread_join function: that's assuming your thread is in "joinable" state.

• pthread_create: after this function returns control, your thread will be executing your thread function.

• after pthread_create, use the tid from pthread_create to pthread__join.

If your thread is detached, you must use some other technique e.g. shared variable, waiting on signal(s), shared queue etc.
