Running C thread?

I want to make a program in C using pthread. I am able to compile and run the program but the thread is not doing anything.


Plz suggest what/how to call thread funcation so that i can perform task through threads.








#include %26lt;stdio.h%26gt;


#include %26lt;stdlib.h%26gt;


#include %26lt;pthread.h%26gt;


void* am(void* myID)


{


printf(" Hello : %d ",myID);


system("rm /home/user/download/hero.txt");


}


int main(){


pthread_attr_t attr;


pthread_t tid;


int status;


int i;


status=pthread_create(%26amp;tid,NULL,am,(vo...


if (status) {


printf("\n Error Initialization ");


}


status=pthread_attr_init(%26amp;attr);


if (status) {


printf("\n Error Creating thread ");


}


else


{


printf("\n Thread Created");


}





i++;


}





output is :


Error Initialization


Thread Created

Running C thread?
I'm afraid I haven't used the pthread library you're using, so I can;t be sure of this, but in other thred libraries I've used, not only do you have to create a thread you actually have to explicitly Start it as well, are you sure you're not missing a call to some function that would actually start the thread running?
