Subj : returning arguments

Hi,

I have written programs on Slackware Linux in C++, each program uses a 
thread. In two of these threads I read a boolean, in one I read an 
integer. Like this;

void *Draad(void *threadid)
{
	read sensor;
	return data;
}

main()
{
	rc = pthread_create(&threads[1], NULL, Draad, (void *)tasdk_id);
}

I know this isn't compilable code, but it's just to give an idea. My 
question(s):
- Do threads *have* to be void?
- Can I pass on return values directly from the thread?
- If not, how do I pass them on?

I hope my question is clear enough.

Thank you for helping,

Huub
