.TH PTHREAD_EXIT 3 LinuxThreads
|
|
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
pthread_exit \- terminate the calling thread
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <pthread.h>
|
|
|
|
void pthread_exit(void *retval);
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
!pthread_exit! terminates the execution of the calling thread.
|
|
All cleanup handlers that have been set for the calling thread with
|
|
!pthread_cleanup_push!(3) are executed in reverse order (the most
|
|
recently pushed handler is executed first). Finalization functions for
|
|
thread-specific data are then called for all keys that have non-!NULL!
|
|
values associated with them in the calling thread (see
|
|
!pthread_key_create!(3)). Finally, execution of the calling thread is
|
|
stopped.
|
|
|
|
The |retval| argument is the return value of the thread. It can be
|
|
consulted from another thread using !pthread_join!(3).
|
|
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
The !pthread_exit! function never returns.
