Good day! Interested in such a question, is it possible in a POSIX thread to pause another thread by its ID. And also make it so that after creation, the thread was in a state of pause, and start it from another thread when I need it.
PS: Linux, C programming language.

pthreads doesn't have one portable function for what you want to do. The first part (pausing another thread by its ID) can be implemented using signals, the second (so that after creation the thread is in a paused state) using synchronization primitives.
Searching for pthread_suspend will lead you to possible implementations.
