pthread_exit

NAME

pthread_exit - terminate the calling thread

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h>

void pthread_exit(void *retval);

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).

RETURN VALUE

The !pthread_exit! function never returns.
