The Traffic Server API thread functions enable you to create, destroy, and identify threads within Traffic Server. Multithreading enables a single program to have more than one stream of execution and to process more than one transaction at a time.
Threads serialize their access to shared resources and data using
the INKMutex
type, as described in Mutexes.
