<title>Introduction to NPth</title>
<para>The <application>NPth</application> package contains a very portable
POSIX/ANSI-C based library for Unix platforms which provides non-preemptive
priority-based scheduling for multiple threads of execution (multithreading)
inside event-driven applications. All threads run in the same address space
of the server application, but each thread has its own individual
program-counter, run-time stack, signal mask and errno variable. </para>
