Write Single Thread program in Posix Thread

[Tasneem AbuQutaish]

i need to write a single thread program using Posix thread, to compare with multi thread program.
so if i want to write a Pthread program running a single(One) thread, do i :
- use "create thread" to create one thread , Or
- dont create any thread and just depend on the main thread program, as was told that the main program has already one thread by default, thanks

If you use Pthread, you capture the overhead of spawning a new thread. I am not sure what granularity of timing is required. This should be milliseconds but if you are trying to determine that type of thing it could be important.

The main() program is a single thread. You could use it.
