thr_exit — terminate current thread
Contents
Description
Thisfunctionisintendedforimplementingthreading.Normalapplicationsshouldcallpthread_exit(3)
instead.
The thr_exit() system call terminates the current kernel-scheduled thread.
If the state argument is not NULL, the location pointed to by the argument is updated with an arbitrary
non-zero value, and an _umtx_op(2) UMTX_OP_WAKE operation is consequently performed on the location.
Attempts to terminate the last thread in the process are silently ignored. Use _exit(2) syscall to
terminate the process.
Library
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
Name
thr_exit — terminate current thread
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.

Standards
The thr_exit() system call is non-standard and is used by 1:1 Threading Library (libthr, -lthr) to
implement IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”) pthread(3) functionality.
