I think Apina does not understand Linux and is taking this thread in a direction that is getting very close to a rule violation.
Linux and UNIX are so similar, relatively speaking, that it is almost pointless to be having this debate.
It does not matter if you start with UNIX or Linux, you are basically starting with the same thing; the rest of the choice is based on personal bias and preferences (right or wrong).
I am going to close this thread since UNIX v. Linux threads are against the rules.

pthread_kill_other_threads_np
PTHREAD_KILL_OTHER_THREADS_NP(3) Linux Programmer's Manual PTHREAD_KILL_OTHER_THREADS_NP(3)
NAME
pthread_kill_other_threads_np - terminate all other threads in process
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
void pthread_kill_other_threads_np(void);
DESCRIPTION
pthread_kill_other_threads_np() only has an effect in the LinuxThreads threading implementation. On that implementation, calling this
function causes the immediate termination of all threads in the application, except the calling thread. The cancellation state and cancel-
lation type of the to-be-terminated threads are ignored, and the cleanup handlers are not called in those threads.
CONFORMING TO
This function is a nonstandard GNU extension.
NOTES
pthread_kill_other_threads_np() is intended to be called just before a thread calls execve(2) or a similar function. This function is
designed to address a limitation in the obsolete LinuxThreads implementation whereby the other threads of an application are not automati-
cally terminated (as POSIX.1-2001 requires) during execve(2).
In the NPTL threading implementation, pthread_kill_other_threads_np() exists, but does nothing. (Nothing needs to be done, because the
implementation does the right thing during an execve(2).)
SEE ALSO
execve(2), pthread_setcancelstate(3), pthread_setcanceltype(3), pthread_cancel(3), pthreads(7)
