Miscellaneous Topics; Thread-Safing; Reference Documentation - HP zx2000 Supplementary Manual

This chapter covers miscellaneous graphics issues relating to HP-UX 11.X.

thread-safing

Hewlett-Packard's OpenGL libraries are supported in multi-threaded applications (using POSIX
threads). This documentation is not a tutorial on threads programming or multiprocessing
application issues. For more, and general, information about the use of POSIX threads, consult
the HP-UX documentation set.
One of the restrictions in using these APIs in multi-threaded programs is that The 3D graphics
libraries support kernel threads only (libpthread); they do not support the DCE user threads
package (libcma).
