XInitThreads(3X)		XLIB FUNCTIONS		      XInitThreads(3X)

NAME
       XInitThreads - initializes Xlib support for concurrent threads

SYNTAX
       Status XInitThreads();

DESCRIPTION
       The XInitThreads function initializes Xlib support for concurrent
       threads.	 This function must be the first Xlib function a multi-
       threaded program calls, and it must complete before any other Xlib call
       is made.	 This function returns a nonzero status if initialization was
       successful; otherwise, it returns zero.	On systems that do not support
       threads, this function always returns zero.

       It is only necessary to call this function if multiple threads might
       use Xlib concurrently.  If all calls to Xlib functions are protected by
       some other access mechanism (for example, a mutual exclusion lock in a
       toolkit or through explicit client programming), Xlib thread initial‐
       ization is not required.	 It is recommended that single-threaded pro‐
       grams not call this function.
