creating a pthread

[JS]

I have an incomplete pthread_create function that looks like this:

pthread_create(pthread * thread, pthread_attr_t *attr, void *
(*start_routine)(void *), void *arg){

}

The third parameter is where my new thread will start to execute:

void * start_routine(void *param){

}
my questions is:

Will the fourth parameter (void * arg) be the parameter send to the
start_routine function??

Standard C, which is what we discuss here, has no support for threads.
Try comp.programming.threads.
