Chapter 31: Threads: Thread Safety and Per-thread Storage

This chapter continues the discussion of the POSIX threads API. It covers thread-safe functions and one-time initialization. We also discuss how to use thread-specific data or thread-local storage to make an existing function thread-safe without changing the function's interface.
