Question 1: You are required to create the two user-level threads by using the pthread_create()
library call. Following are thefunctionalities carried out by two thread functions.

 First thread should print your name and father’s name and finally print the thread id by
usingthe pthread_self() library call.
 Second thread should Print your VUID and campus address followed by the thread id by
using the pthread_self() library call.
In the main function call the pthread_join() so that the main() function can wait for the two
threads and finally, printthe message exiting the main function. The following should be the
flow of your program.

 Firstly, compile your c program and also link the pthread library at the compile timeand
also use the REENTRANT macro from the command line.
 Run your program.
You are required to send the screenshot along with C Code.

Answer: C Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <unistd.h>

#include <sys/types.h>

#include <sys/wait.h>

#include <errno.h>

#include <pthread.h>

void *frstThread(void *arg);

void *scndThread(void *arg);

void main()
{

pthread_t thread1;

pthread_t thread2;
pthread_create(&thread1, NULL, frstThread, NULL);
pthread_join(thread1, NULL);
pthread_create(&thread2, NULL, scndThread, NULL);
pthread_join(thread2, NULL);
printf("\nExiting the main function. \n");

exit(0);

void *frstThread(void *arg)

{
printf("In First Thread\n");
printf("Faizan Ahmad\n");
printf("Father Name Muhammad Mushtaq\n");
printf("Thread ID\n %ld",pthread_self());
}
void *scndThread(void *arg)
{
printf("\nIn Second Thread ");
printf("VU ID BC190412088 \n");
printf("...Fateh Jang Campus\n");
printf("Thread ID:\n %ld", pthread_self());
}
