+/*
+ * This pthread shim is an example that demonstrates how legacy code
+ * that makes use of POSIX pthread services can make use of lthreads
+ * with reduced porting effort.
+ *
+ * N.B. The example is not a complete implementation, only a subset of
+ * pthread APIs sufficient to demonstrate the principle of operation
+ * are implemented.
+ *
+ * In general pthread attribute objects do not have equivalent functions
+ * in lthreads, and are ignored.
+ *
+ * There is one exception and that is the use of attr to specify a
+ * core affinity in calls to pthread_create.
+ *
+ * The shim operates as follows:-
+ *
+ * On initialisation a constructor function uses dlsym to obtain and
+ * save the loaded address of the full set of pthread APIs that will
+ * be overridden.
+ *
+ * For each function there is a stub provided that will invoke either
+ * the genuine pthread library function saved saved by the constructor,
+ * or else the corresponding equivalent lthread function.
+ *
+ * The stub functions are implemented in pthread_shim.c
+ *
+ * The stub will take care of adapting parameters, and any police
+ * any constraints where lthread functionality differs.
+ *
+ * The initial thread must always be a pure lthread.
+ *
+ * The decision whether to invoke the real library function or the lthread
+ * function is controlled by a per pthread flag that can be switched
+ * on of off by the pthread_override_set() API described below. Typcially
+ * this should be done as the first action of the initial lthread.
+ *
+ * N.B In general it would be poor practice to revert to invoke a real
+ * pthread function when running as an lthread, since these may block and
+ * effectively stall the lthread scheduler.
+ *
+ */
+
+
+/*
+ * An exiting lthread must not terminate the pthread it is running in
