A socket is a file descriptor. All file descriptors have an implicit close() performed on them during image rundown. When you close a listener socket fd the port will likely go into TIMED_WAIT state.
If TIMED_WAIT is not a problem the socket part is pretty clear.
Am not clear on your resources question - do you call pthread_exit() from main - or the equivalent of that- on signal receipt? Or are we talking signals you cannot block? pthread_cancel()?

What is the best way for a parent to kill a child thread that has blocked on a command it cannot finish and will never read another line of its code? Will pthread_cancel() work with a thread that will never stop processing its current line of code? Thanks. (4 Replies)

pthread_getsequence_np
pthread_getsequence_np(3) Library Functions Manual pthread_getsequence_np(3)
NAME
pthread_getsequence_np - Obtains the unique identifier for the specified thread.
LIBRARY
DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
unsigned long pthread_getsequence_np(
pthread_t thread);
STANDARDS
None
PARAMETERS
Thread object whose sequence number is to be obtained.
DESCRIPTION
This routine obtains and returns the DECthreads thread sequence number for the thread identified by the thread object specified in the
thread argument.
The thread sequence number provides a unique identifier for each existing thread. A thread's thread sequence number is never reused while
the thread exists, but can be reused after the thread terminates. The debugger interfaces use this sequence number to identify each thread
in commands and in display output.
The result of calling this routine is undefined if the thread argument does not specify a valid thread object.
RETURN VALUES
No errors are returned. This routine returns the DECthreads thread sequence number for the thread identified by the thread object speci-
fied in the thread argument. The result of calling this routine is undefined if the thread argument does not specify a valid thread.
ERRORS
None
