进程是指正在运行的程序,它拥有独立的内存空间和系统资源,不同进程之间的数据不共享。
线程是进程内的执行单元,它与同一进程内的其他线程共享进程的内存空间和系统资源。
多线程是一种并发编程方式,它的优势包括:
Linux下C语言多线程编程依赖于pthread多线程库。pthread库是Linux的多线程库,是POSIX标准线程API的实现,它提供了一种创建和操纵线程的方法,以及一些同步机制,如互斥锁、条件变量等。
头文件:
`#include < pthread.h >
`
编译链接需要链接链接库 pthread。

- 线程将指定函数体中的代码执行完后自行结束;
- 线程执行过程中,被同一进程中的其它线程(包括主线程)强制终止;
- 线程执行过程中,遇到 pthread_exit() 函数结束执行。
例子test.c:创建一个线程,每个1s打印一次,打印超过5次时调用pthread_exit退出。

使用return退出线程与使用pthread_exit退出线程的区别?
return为通用的函数退出操作,pthread_exit专用与线程,既然pthread库有提供专门的函数,自然用pthread_exit会好些,虽然使用return也可以。
看看return退出线程与使用pthread_exit退出线程的具体区别:退出主线程。使用pthread_exit退出主线程只会终止当前线程,不会影响进程中其它线程的执行;使用return退出主线程,主线程退出执行很快,所有线程都会退出。
