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.
