40 Use this to set the hook function that will be called when the
41 runtime initially becomes multi threaded.
42 The hook function is only called once, meaning only when the
43 2nd thread is spawned, not for each and every thread.
45 It returns the previous hook function or NULL if there is none.
47 A program outside of the runtime could set this to some function so
48 it can be informed; for example, the GNUstep Base Library sets it
49 so it can implement the NSBecomingMultiThreaded notification.
