The LWP will begin execution at the function specified by start_routine which will be passed a single argument arg. The LWP private data pointer will be set to private. The stack region for the new LWP is specified by the stack_base and stack_size arguments. The signal mask in the context structure is not initialized by _lwp_makecontext(). SEE ALSO _lwp_create(2), _lwp_getprivate(2) HISTORY The _lwp_create() system call first appeared in NetBSD 2.0. BUGS The LWP private data pointer is not initialized by the current implementation of _lwp_makecontext(). BSD January 16, 2003 BSD
