pthread_kill

pthread_kill(3T)														  pthread_kill(3T)

NAME

       pthread_kill() - send a signal to a thread

SYNOPSIS

PARAMETERS

	      thread	Thread to which the signal is to be delivered.

	      sig	Signal to be delivered to thread.

DESCRIPTION

       The  function  is  used	to  request  that a signal be delivered to thread.  The signal is asynchronously directed to thread in the calling
       process. The signal is handled in the context of the given thread; if the signal action results in the thread terminating or stopping, this
       action is applied to the whole process.

       If sig is zero, error checking is performed but a signal is not sent.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, returns zero. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error (the variable is not set).

ERRORS

       If any of the following occur, the function returns the corresponding error number:

	      [EINVAL]	     sig is an invalid or unsupported signal number.

	      [ESRCH]	     No thread could be found corresponding to thread.
