I need to delete a TTY in my AIX 4.3 system. I have tried using the smit but everytime I try it, there is a message telling me that the device is in use and cannot be changed. How do I take the device "offline", so to speak, so that I can edit the settings and/or delete it.

pthread_cancel
pthread_cancel(3C) pthread_cancel(3C)
NAME
pthread_cancel - cancel execution of a thread
SYNOPSIS
cc -mt [ flag... ] file... -lpthread [ library... ]
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_cancel(pthread_t target_thread);
The pthread_cancel() function requests that target_thread be canceled.
By default, cancellation is deferred until target_thread reaches a cancellation point. See cancellation(5).
Cancellation cleanup handlers for target_thread are called when the cancellation is acted on. Upon return of the last cancellation cleanup
handler, the thread-specific data destructor functions are called for target_thread. target_thread is terminated when the last destructor
function returns.
The cancellation processing in target_thread runs asynchronously with respect to the calling thread returning from pthread_cancel().
If successful, the pthread_cancel() function returns 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
The pthread_cancel() function may fail if:
ESRCH No thread was found with an ID corresponding to that specified by the given thread ID, target_thread.
