BloombergLP::bslmt::ThreadUtilImpl<Platform::PosixThreads>::create

Create a new thread of program control having platform specific default attributes (i.e., "stack size", "scheduling priority"), that invokes the specified function with a single argument specified by userData, and load into the specified threadHandle, an identifier that may be used to refer to the thread in future calls to this utility. Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value otherwise. The behavior is undefined if the threadHandle is 0. Note that unless explicitly "detached" (detach), a call to join must be made once the thread terminates to reclaim any system resources associated with the newly created identifier.
