UNIX

The [unix] section is used, from release 4.525, by the Unix and Linux versions of DP4, and contains the following entries:

• errlog
• loader
• startup_delay

If a Unix DP4 application is multi-threaded, which is only supported using the POSIX pthreads library, you must add the line use_pthreads=1 in the [progname] section of the configuration file. For example if you have a multi-threaded application named multidp4 your dp4.ini file should contain the following:

[multidp4]
use_pthreads=1

There is no reason to add this entry for ordinary DP4 applications. Doing so will cause extra system resources to be consumed.
