I don't think that link is useful in this particular case.

Documentation:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/pthread_create.html

My question is very simmilar to the above and I am wondering on how and how many arguments I can pass to a function. For example, I am using _beginthread to start my threads and in each thread I want to call a function which has the following protoype:

int func ( int a, char * b, double c)
{
......
}

What does my _beginthread function call should look like ??!!!

Also, Can you please give me a link to a tutorial on threading on both C and C++ which you think is good.

Thank u

How about creating a structure of arguments that you want to pass and pass the address in the beginthread() call.
I think the same point is mentioned in the following link-
