i just wondered if in OSX threads were user-threads or

since the API lets one change the schedule of a thread it has to be

There are many different types of threads on Mac OS X, so your
question has no general answer. However, if you're talking about
pthreads, then yes, a pthread is kernel thread. A pthread is
actually a wrapper around a Mach thread, which is a kernel thread.
This is explained in detail in DTS Technote 2028 "Threading
Architectures".
