.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
.In pthread.h
|
|
|
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn pthread_cancel "pthread_t thread"
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn pthread_cancel
|
|
|
|
|
function requests that
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa thread
|
|
|
|
|
be canceled.
|
|
|
|
|
The target thread's cancelability state and type determines
|
|
|
|
|
when the cancellation takes effect.
|
|
|
|
|
When the cancellation is acted on,
|
|
|
|
|
the cancellation cleanup handlers for
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa thread
|
|
|
|
|
are called.
|
|
|
|
|
When the last cancellation cleanup handler returns,
|
|
|
|
|
the thread-specific data destructor functions will be called for
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa thread .
|
|
|
|
|
When the last destructor function returns,
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa thread
|
|
|
|
|
will be terminated.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The cancellation processing in the target thread runs asynchronously with
|
|
|
|
|
respect to the calling thread returning from
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn pthread_cancel .
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
A status of
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv PTHREAD_CANCELED
|
|
|
|
|
is made available to any threads joining with the target.
|
|
|
|
|
The symbolic
|
|
|
|
|
constant
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv PTHREAD_CANCELED
|
|
|
|
|
expands to a constant expression of type
|
|
|
|
|
.Ft (void *) ,
|
|
|
|
|
whose value matches no pointer to an object in memory nor the value
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
|
If successful, the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn pthread_cancel
|
|
|
|
|
functions will return zero.
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise an error number will be returned to
|
|
|
|
|
indicate the error.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn pthread_cancel
