32.\" 33.Dd April 4, 1996 34.Dt PTHREAD_EXIT 3 35.Os BSD 4 36.Sh NAME 37.Nm pthread_exit 38.Nd terminate the calling thread 39.Sh SYNOPSIS 40.Fd #include <pthread.h> 41.Ft void 42.Fn pthread_exit "void *value_ptr" 43.Sh DESCRIPTION 44The 45.Fn pthread_exit 46function terminates the calling thread and makes the value 47.Fa value_ptr |
48available to any successful join with the terminating thread. 49Any |
50cancellation cleanup handlers that have been pushed and are not yet popped 51are popped in the reverse order that they were pushed and then executed. 52After all cancellation handlers have been executed, if the thread has any 53thread-specific data, appropriate destructor functions are called in an |
54unspecified order. 55Thread termination does not release any application |
56visible process resources, including, but not limited to, mutexes and 57file descriptors, nor does it perform any process level cleanup 58actions, including, but not limited to, calling 59.Fn atexit 60routines that may exist. 61.Pp 62An implicit call to 63.Fn pthread_exit --- 4 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 68.Pp 69The behavior of 70.Fn pthread_exit 71is undefied if called from a cancellation handler or destructor function 72that was invoked as the result of an implicit or explicit call to 73.Fn pthread_exit . 74.Pp 75After a thread has terminated, the result of access to local (auto) |
76variables of the thread is undefined. 77Thus, references to local variables |
78of the exiting thread should not be used for the 79.Fn pthread_exit 80.Fa value_ptr 81parameter value. 82.Pp 83The process will exit with an exit status of 0 after the last thread has |
84been terminated. 85The behavior is as if the implementation called |
86.Fn exit 87with a zero argument at thread termination time. 88.Pp 89.Sh RETURN VALUES 90The 91.Fn pthread_exit 92function cannot return to its caller. 93.Sh ERRORS --- 12 unchanged lines hidden --- |
