Function silc_thread_create
SYNOPSIS

        SilcThread silc_thread_create(SilcThreadStart start_func,
                                      void *context, SilcBool waitable);

DESCRIPTION

        Creates a new thread. The `start_func' with `context' will be
        called if the thread was created. This function returns a pointer
        to the thread or NULL if the thread could not be created.  All
        resources of the returned pointer is freed automatically when the
        thread exits.

        If the `waitable' is set to TRUE then another thread can wait
        this thread's destruction with silc_thread_wait. If it is set to
        FALSE the thread is not waitable.

NOTES

        If the `waitable' is TRUE the thread's resources are not freed
        when it exits until another thread has issued silc_thread_wait.
        If the `waitable' is TRUE then another thread must always issue
        silc_thread_wait to avoid memory leaks.

        On Symbian Cleanup Stack is created and new Active Scheduler is
        installed automatically for the created thread.  The thread also
        shares heap with the calling thread.
