Developer Library: Kernel Kit

The Kernel Kit defines a C interface for creating, coordinating, and communicating between threads. It also defines a system of memory management, letting you share memory between application and lock chunks of memory into RAM. Applications that rely on the higher-level kits may not need to use much of this kit.
