+PRThread
+========
+
+An NSPR thread.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prthread.h>
+
+ typedef struct PRThread PRThread;
+
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In NSPR, a thread is represented by a pointer to an opaque structure of
+type :ref:`PRThread`. This pointer is a required parameter for most of the
+functions that operate on threads.
+
+A ``PRThread*`` is the successful result of creating a new thread. The
+identifier remains valid until it returns from its root function and, if
+the thread was created joinable, is joined.
