I read manual of command tree and confused about threads

   Child threads of a process are found under the parent process and are shown with the process name  in  curly  braces,
   e.g.

       icecast2---13*[{icecast2}]

Does it mean that process icecast has 13 threads?

Yes, pstree shows the number of threads create by a process:

Child threads of a process are found under the parent process and are shown with the process name in curly braces

In the icecast2 case, the threadpool option was removed from the configuration in current versions.

  • removed threadpool from example config it is long gone and unused

so the amount of threads cannot be controlled by the configuration.
