+This directory contains a few test and benchmark programs that I've
+developed to help me test the consistancy of the libpthread.a.
+
+TEST
+----------------------
+test_create Tests the pthread_create() routine. The stack addresses
+ should be very different (ie the upper values of the
+ address should be different) and the arg should be
+ 0xdeadbeaf.
+
+test_switch A nondeterministic test. It should show context switching,
+ by displaying different letters.
+
+test_sleep Timing this test should result in a time of about 20 seconds.
+ It should sleep for 10 seconds and then print ba 10 times
+ at the rate of about once a second.
+
+p_bench_* Benchmarks for various routines.
