I just hope my previous explanation doesn't confuse Tayser. However just want to point out, for non UNIX example of such user-level thread, take a look on Windows fibre. It is a schedulable entity that completely live in user space only and scheduled in cooperative style. From scheduler point of view, Windows Fibres are just a single process managed by one kernel level thread. regards Mulyadi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
