Relation between Process, thread KSE, KSE group

[amolsaurabh]

Hello all,

I am a new learner of the FreeBSD system. I am going through the code step by step. I am getting confused because of whole structure which is made up of 4 things:

1. Process
2. Thread
3. Kernel Supported Entity (KSE)
4. KSE group.

Can anybody explain to me what is the exact relation between them? I know what is process and what is thread and relation between them. I just wanted to know about KSE and KSE group.


Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Saurabh Sabnis

KSE's are old method of threading in FreeBSD, now deprecated. Don't think about them any more...
