.TH PTHREAD_EXIT 3 LinuxThreads
.SH NAME
pthread_exit \- terminate the calling thread
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
void pthread_exit(void *retval);
.SH 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).
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
The !pthread_exit! function never returns.
