+  <threads.h>:
+
+  - thrd_current, thrd_equal, thrd_sleep, thrd_yield, thrd_create,
+    thrd_detach, thrd_exit, and thrd_join for thread management.
+
+  - mtx_init, mtx_lock, mtx_timedlock, mtx_trylock, mtx_unlock, and
+    mtx_destroy for mutual exclusion.
+
+  - call_once for function call synchronization.
+
+  - cnd_broadcast, cnd_destroy, cnd_init, cnd_signal, cnd_timedwait, and
+    cnd_wait for conditional variables.
+
+  - tss_create, tss_delete, tss_get, and tss_set for thread-local storage.
+
+  Application developers must link against libpthread to use ISO C threads.
