title: Threads/Process comparison on Linux/Windows
body: <p>I have some experience in using threads and processes in Windows.</p>
  
  <p>May someone explain, is there any mapping possible the threads and processes in windows to the same in Linux?</p>
  
  <p>That means, Threads in Windows == Threads in Linux? -> Makes any sense?
              Process in Windows == Process in Linus? -> Makes any sense?</p>
  
  <p>If same, I have CreateThread() and CreateProcess() calls in windows, what are the equivalent calls in linux?</p>
  
  <p>I have read some posts in SO but most of them haven't cleared my doubts.So thought to start a new post.</p>
  
  <p>It would be nice If I get some explanation with some simple examples(C programming).</p>
