What methods are available in standard libraries for creating streams?

In standard libraries of C and C++, there are several ways to create threads:

• C (POSIX Threads, pthreads): In POSIX systems (Linux, macOS), the pthread.h library is used for working with threads.

#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void* thread_func(void* arg) {
    printf("Hello from thread!\n");
    return NULL;
}

int main() {
    pthread_t thread;
    pthread_create(&thread, NULL, thread_func, NULL);
    pthread_join(thread, NULL);
    return 0;
}

• C++11 and later (std::thread): The C++11 standard introduced a thread library that simplifies thread creation and management.

#include <thread>
#include <iostream>

void thread_func() {
    std::cout << "Hello from thread!" << std::endl;
}

int main() {
    std::thread t(thread_func);
    t.join();
    return 0;
}

Thus, in C++, it is preferable to use std::thread, while in C, pthreads are used.
