_lwp_continue(2) [opensolaris man page]

_lwp_suspend(2) 						   System Calls 						   _lwp_suspend(2)

NAME

       _lwp_suspend, _lwp_continue - continue or suspend LWP execution

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/lwp.h>

       int _lwp_suspend(lwpid_t target_lwp);

       int _lwp_continue(lwpid_t target_lwp);

DESCRIPTION

       The  _lwp_suspend()  function  immediately  suspends  the execution of the LWP specified by target_lwp. On successful return from _lwp_sus-
       pend(), target_lwp is no longer executing. Once a thread is suspended, subsequent calls to _lwp_suspend() have no affect.

       The _lwp_continue() function resumes the execution of a suspended LWP. Once a suspended LWP is continued,  subsequent  calls  to  _lwp_con-
       tinue() have no effect.

       A suspended LWP will not be awakened by a signal. The signal stays pending until the execution of the LWP is resumed by _lwp_continue().

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. A non-zero value indicates an error.

ERRORS

       If the following condition occurs, _lwp_suspend() and _lwp_continue() fail and return the corresponding value:

       ESRCH	The target_lwpid argument cannot be found in the current process.

NAME

       _lwp_kill - send a signal to a LWP

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/lwp.h>
       #include <signal.h>

       int _lwp_kill(lwpid_t target_lwp, int sig);

DESCRIPTION

       The  _lwp_kill()  function sends a signal to the LWP specified by target_lwp. The signal that is to be sent is specified by sig and must be
       one from the list given in signal.h(3HEAD). If sig is 0 (the null signal), error checking is performed but no signal is actually sent. This
       can be used to check the validity of target_lwp.

       The target_lwp must be an LWP within the same process as the calling LWP.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. A non-zero value indicates an error.

ERRORS

       If any of the following conditions occur, _lwp_kill() fails and returns the corresponding value:

       EINVAL	       The sig argument is not a valid signal number.

       ESRCH	       The target_lwp argument cannot be found in the current process.

ATTRIBUTES
