What is the status of pthreads under FreeBSD 1.1.x?

I see a pthreads library, but I don't see any (installed) header files or
documentation.

Is the library usable?

Can anyone recommend a good reference for pthreads?

Thanks.

Background: I've just started playing with Fresco using g++ 2.6.0 under
FreeBSD 1.1. From what I've been able to gather so far, Fresco can do
lots of interesting things without threads, but it can do more interesting
things with them. I'm trying to figure out if building a threaded version
of Fresco for FreeBSD 1.1 is doable.
