int value = 0;
void *runner(void *param); /* the thread */
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

if (pid == 0) { /* child process */
pthread_attr_init(&attr);
pthread create(&tid,&attr,runner,NULL);

printf("CHILD: value = %d",value); /* LINE C */
}
else if (pid gt; 0) { /* parent process */
wait(NULL);
printf("PARENT: value = %d",value); /* LINE P */
}
}
void *runner(void *param) {

pthread_exit(0);
}
