Implementation for pthread.h

I couldn't find the implementation file of pthread.h
is it available?
I tried find -name pthread*.* without any results except the headers...
Thanks
Jack

You can try this, I think this is what you're looking for, if not then I misunderstood.

$ whereis libpthread
libpthread: /usr/lib/libpthread.so /usr/lib/libpthread.a
$ whereis pthread
pthread: /usr/include/pthread.h

Hi Randyding,
Thanks for your reply. What I need is the .cpp or .c file thanks

Hello Lucky6969b,

What you can do it the following:

whereis libpthread
libpthread: /usr/lib/libpthread.so /usr/lib/libpthread.a

Then do a:

rpm -qf /usr/lib/libpthread.a
glibc-devel-2.3.5-10

So the libpthread archive libs comes from the fileset of glibc-devel so you will have to download that SRPM to get the source files so that you will have the .c file to see the code that they used to build the archive library.
