pthread_cleanup_push(3) 				     Library Functions Manual					   pthread_cleanup_push(3)

NAME

       pthread_cleanup_push - (Macro) Establishes a cleanup handler routine to be executed when the thread exits or is canceled.

LIBRARY

       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_cleanup_push(
			 void	 (*routine)(void *),
			 void	 *arg);

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface

PARAMETERS

       Routine executed as the cleanup handler.  Argument passed to the cleanup routine.

DESCRIPTION

       This  routine pushes the specified routine onto the calling thread's cleanup handler stack.  The cleanup handler routine is popped from the
       stack and executed with the arg argument when any of the following actions occur: The thread calls pthread_cleanup_pop(3) and  specifies  a
       nonzero	value  for the execute argument.  The thread calls pthread_exit(3).  The thread is canceled.  An exception is raised and is caught
       when DECthreads unwinds the calling thread's stack to the lexical scope of the pthread_cleanup_push(3) and pthread_cleanup_pop(3) pair.

       This routine and pthread_cleanup_pop(3) are implemented as macros and must appear as statements and in pairs within the same lexical scope.
       You  can  think	of  the  pthread_cleanup_push(3)  macro  as  expanding	to  a  string  whose  first  character	is  a  left  brace ({) and
       pthread_cleanup_pop(3) as expanding to a string containing the corresponding right brace (}).

RETURN VALUES

       None
