I recently "upgraded" from Slackware 11.0 to 12.0 ("" because I removed all 11.0 packages first.) Previously the info:libc reference had full documentation of pthreads, while I don't have that now, and not even manpages for the individual functions! The lib is installed and does work since I'm testing a program which uses them, but where are the docs? Thanks.

PS Already did a directory search for anything named *pthread*.
Well, do you have, for example, man pthread_create, or anything that starts with pthread_ under info libc "Function Index"? I do have the overview manpage man pthreads, which is not helpful at all.

Actually I don't, also just the overview - I assumed because apropos reported them, they existed, sorry about that
as far as I can tell none of the man pages listed by "apropos pthread" exist on my system either.
Maybe you should sent an email to P.V. about this.

Good call. Sent PV an email earlier. We'll see what happens. If nothing else I can just generate all the docs again myself from source. Might do that anyway!
