Cocoa in a Nutshell

Name

NSThread — Mac OS X 10.0

Synopsis

NSThread provides functionality to run processes as separate threads of execution. NSThread takes a method selector that will be run in its own thread. Threads share the memory space of their parent processes, unlike processes executed by NSTask instances.
