+   <span class="application">libpq</span> is reentrant and thread-safe by default.
+   You might need to use special compiler command-line
+   options when you compile your application code.  Refer to your
+   system's documentation for information about how to build
+   thread-enabled applications, or look in
+   <code class="filename">src/Makefile.global</code> for <code class="literal">PTHREAD_CFLAGS</code>
+   and <code class="literal">PTHREAD_LIBS</code>.  This function allows the querying of
+   <span class="application">libpq</span>'s thread-safe status:
+  </p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt id="LIBPQ-PQISTHREADSAFE"><span class="term"><code class="function">PQisthreadsafe</code><a id="id-1.7.3.27.4.1.1.2" class="indexterm"></a></span></dt><dd><p>
+      Returns the thread safety status of the
+      <span class="application">libpq</span> library.
+</p><pre class="synopsis">
+int PQisthreadsafe();
+</pre><p>
+     </p><p>
+      Returns 1 if the <span class="application">libpq</span> is thread-safe
+      and 0 if it is not.
+     </p></dd></dl></div><p>
+   One thread restriction is that no two threads attempt to manipulate
+   the same <code class="structname">PGconn</code> object at the same time. In particular,
+   you cannot issue concurrent commands from different threads through
+   the same connection object. (If you need to run concurrent commands,
+   use multiple connections.)
+  </p><p>
+   <code class="structname">PGresult</code> objects are normally read-only after creation,
+   and so can be passed around freely between threads.  However, if you use
+   any of the <code class="structname">PGresult</code>-modifying functions described in
+   <a class="xref" href="libpq-misc.html" title="34.12. Miscellaneous Functions">Section 34.12</a> or <a class="xref" href="libpq-events.html" title="34.14. Event System">Section 34.14</a>, it's up
+   to you to avoid concurrent operations on the same <code class="structname">PGresult</code>,
+   too.
+  </p><p>
+   The deprecated functions <a class="xref" href="libpq-cancel.html#LIBPQ-PQREQUESTCANCEL"><code class="function">PQrequestCancel</code></a> and
+   <a class="xref" href="libpq-exec.html#LIBPQ-PQOIDSTATUS"><code class="function">PQoidStatus</code></a> are not thread-safe and should not be
+   used in multithread programs.  <a class="xref" href="libpq-cancel.html#LIBPQ-PQREQUESTCANCEL"><code class="function">PQrequestCancel</code></a>
+   can be replaced by <a class="xref" href="libpq-cancel.html#LIBPQ-PQCANCEL"><code class="function">PQcancel</code></a>.
+   <a class="xref" href="libpq-exec.html#LIBPQ-PQOIDSTATUS"><code class="function">PQoidStatus</code></a> can be replaced by
+   <a class="xref" href="libpq-exec.html#LIBPQ-PQOIDVALUE"><code class="function">PQoidValue</code></a>.
+  </p><p>
+   If you are using Kerberos inside your application (in addition to inside
+   <span class="application">libpq</span>), you will need to do locking around
+   Kerberos calls because Kerberos functions are not thread-safe.  See
+   function <code class="function">PQregisterThreadLock</code> in the
+   <span class="application">libpq</span> source code for a way to do cooperative
+   locking between <span class="application">libpq</span> and your application.
