OK, at the risk of sounding like an idiot let me ask the following.

>From what I understand from reading the POSIX threads page I was given,
is this what it means? (Forgive the non programmer side of me, please.)

If application A is running (the process), the functions that comprise
that process are the threads? Or at least if it's compiled using the
pthreads library? If so, then what is it from compiling against that lib
that changes the functions' attributes from that of "normal" functions
like say ptrace() or fopen()?

Please don't refrain from answering technically, which is what I'm
looking for. If I have trouble understanding, trust that I WILL chime in
for an explaination of the explaination. hehe :-)
