Alas no, not really. Maybe someone else does.

I like the manual pages `man 3 pthread_create` and
`man pthread_mutex_init` - both do include "SEE ALSO" references as well
as example code.

As far as documentation with a bit of introduction goes: check out the
"Description" section of:
 http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/unstable/glib-Threads.html
 http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/unstable/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html
 http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/unstable/glib-Thread-Pools.html


There's been some glib-thread discussion on this list last July
(Subject: "Can someone add 2 features to Kluppe?" -
http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-dev/2010-July/028694.html
) and I whipped up a small example demonstrating glib thread creation
and mutexes: http://rg42.org/_media/wiki/async-timer2.c
It's not annotated but may get you started.

best,
robin
