I'm not sure how we are planning on structuring this essay, but I will just write a bit on the history of Posix part for now. Does somebody want to handle writing an intro? - afranco2

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply... i just wanted everyone to finish their assignment portion. we would have our own set of explanation for question 8.

AFRANCO2; you mentioned that how are we taking care of the structure of the essay?

here is a suggestion:

1st paragraph; should consist defining UNIX and POSIX/Threads

2nd paragrah; consisting the history behind POSIX and why UNIX was so late to implement the support of multithreaded processes.

3rd paragraph; should conclude it all.

I agree, but I don't think that we should limit it to specifically 'paragraphs' but rather sections. -afranco2

Here is a site that would take care of paragraph 1: https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/

GAUTHAM provided us with very useful pdf. that talks about the history of POSIX. - Npatel1

This may be a stupid question, buy does anybody know what we have to do for citation? Are we using footnotes like a regular wiki? Or is there another conformation we need to follow? -afranco2
