You will have to use extensions to the C language, as the
_standard_ C language does not have support for threads.

Search the Solaris documentation for "pthreads".

The notion of threads doesn't exist in standard C.

Solaris has both a native threading implementation and a POSIX threads
implementation with a C library.
