You need at least two functions----a main function, and a function to be run in the new thread.

If you choose to use pthread_create() to make your thread, the function which will run in it must have the prototype

void* threadmain(void *args);

Where you can make threadmain and args be whatever strings you prefer.

[sachinchakote]

DWORD WINAPI runThread(LPVOID args)
{
int* value = reinterpret_cast<int*>(args);
printf("\n in thread %d", *value);
}

int main()
{

DWORD threadId;
int value = 10;

hThread = CreateThread( NULL, 0, runThread, &value, 0, &threadId);
return 0;
}

you can use waitforsingleobject() to check the thread status whether is has exited normally or with any error.
For more details please look into MSDN for each of the API

Hope this will help you
