.Dd June 1, 2016 .Dt THR_EXIT 2 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm thr_exit .Nd terminate current thread .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n sys/thr.h .Ft void .Fn thr_exit "long *state" .Sh DESCRIPTION f -symbolic This function is intended for implementing threading. Normal applications should call .Xr pthread_exit 3 instead. .Ef
p The .Fn thr_exit system call terminates the current kernel-scheduled thread.
p If the .Fa state argument is not .Dv NULL , the location pointed to by the argument is updated with an arbitrary non-zero value, and an .Xr _umtx_op 2 .Dv UMTX_OP_WAKE operation is consequently performed on the location.
p Attempts to terminate the last thread in the process are silently ignored. Use .Xr _exit 2 syscall to terminate the process. .Sh 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. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr _exit 2 , .Xr thr_kill 2 , .Xr thr_kill2 2 , .Xr thr_new 2 , .Xr thr_self 2 , .Xr thr_set_name 2 , .Xr _umtx_op 2 , .Xr pthread_exit 3 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn thr_exit system call is non-standard and is used by .Lb libthr to implement .St -p1003.1-2001 .Xr pthread 3 functionality.
