/*
- * Threading sometimes requires specially-named versions of functions
- * that return data in static buffers, like strerror_r() instead of
- * strerror(). Other operating systems use pthread_setspecific()
- * and pthread_getspecific() internally to allow standard library
- * functions to return static data to threaded applications. And some
- * operating systems have neither.
- *
- * Additional confusion exists because many operating systems that
- * use pthread_setspecific/pthread_getspecific() also have *_r versions
- * of standard library functions for compatibility with operating systems
- * that require them. However, internally, these *_r functions merely
- * call the thread-safe standard library functions.
- *
- * For example, BSD/OS 4.3 uses Bind 8.2.3 for getpwuid(). Internally,
- * getpwuid() calls pthread_setspecific/pthread_getspecific() to return
- * static data to the caller in a thread-safe manner. However, BSD/OS
- * also has getpwuid_r(), which merely calls getpwuid() and shifts
- * around the arguments to match the getpwuid_r() function declaration.
- * Therefore, while BSD/OS has getpwuid_r(), it isn't required. It also
- * doesn't have strerror_r(), so we can't fall back to only using *_r
- * functions for threaded programs.
- *
- * The current setup is to try threading in this order:
- *
- * use *_r function names if they exit
- * (*_THREADSAFE=yes)
- * use non-*_r functions if they are thread-safe
+ * Historically, the code in this module had to deal with operating systems
+ * that lacked getpwuid_r().
