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. + +.SH AUTHOR +Xavier Leroy <Xavier.Leroy@inria.fr> + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +!pthread_create!(3), +!pthread_join!(3). |
