Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users How to kill a thread among several threads belongs to a process? Post 302883257 by Don Cragun on Sunday 12th of January 2014 06:02:30 PM

It isn't clear whether you're asking for a way for one thread in a process to send a signal to another thread in the same process (which can be done with pthread_kill()), or to send a signal from an external process to a particular thread in another process (which cannot be done unless the process containing the thread to be signaled provides an interface to allow that to happen).
