NAME
thr_exit —
terminate current thread
LIBRARY
library “libc”
SYNOPSIS
#include
<sys/thr.h>
void
thr_exit(long
*state);
DESCRIPTION
The
thr_exit()
system call terminates the current kernel-scheduled thread.
If the state argument is not
NULL, the location pointed to by the argument is
updated with an arbitrary non-zero value, and an
_umtx_op(2) UMTX_OP_WAKE operation is
consequently performed on the location.
Attempts to terminate the last thread in the process are silently ignored. Use _exit(2) syscall to terminate the process.
RETURN VALUES
The function does not return a value. A return from the function indicates that the calling thread was the last one in the process.
SEE ALSO
_exit(2), thr_kill(2), thr_kill2(2), thr_new(2), thr_self(2), thr_set_name(2), _umtx_op(2), pthread_exit(3)
STANDARDS
The thr_exit() system call is non-standard
and is used by library “libthr” to
implement IEEE Std 1003.1-2001
(“POSIX.1”)
pthread(3) functionality.
