The classifications are based on the thread-safety levels defined in  
Solaris operating system, please refer to Sun's attr(5) page:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-0220/6m6nkoroc?l=en&a=view#MT-Level

Based on the classifications and POSIX standard, I classify functions 
by reading source code.
