learning threads on linux

Question

Linux is a new platform to me. I\'ve coded on Windows in c++ for a number of years and have become comfortable with multithreading on that platform.

Along comes C++

Answer 1

I could give you a really fancy answer but alas, this is where I learned them and it is a good introduction:

You use pthread_mutex_t for syncronization and pthread_join probably handles the wait for multiple tasks problem. It works exactly as you would expect.
