Due: 9/21/2001 - Class Time

Write a C program that performs the following introductory program with threads. You may use either Solaris threads or Pthreads.

1. Compose a reader function that
• printf()s the argument passed to it
• reads stdin until EOF placing what has been read into char Input (or string if you prefer)
• thr_exit()s with the value 975
2. Compose a writer function that
• printf()s the argument passed to it
• prints the contents of Input until the reader (#1) has ended
• thr_exit()s with the value 739
3. main() should
   • thr_create the reader passing it the integer 593
   • thr_create the writer passing it the integer 481
   • thr_join() the 1st thread to exit
   • thr_join() the 2nd thread to exit
   • printf() the values returned by each of the threads
   
   =================================================================
4. If you found the above too easy, (and it was), add a 2nd reader thread, and perhaps a 2nd writer.

You will use the 'script' command to capture all necessary information for handin.
