PTHREAD_KILL_OTHER_THREADS_NP(3) Library Functions Manual PTHREAD_KILL_OTHER_THREADS_NP(3)NAMEpthread_kill_other_threads_np - terminate all threads in program except calling threadSYNOPSIS#include <pthread.h> void pthread_kill_other_threads_np(void);DESCRIPTIONpthread_kill_other_threads_np is a non-portable LinuxThreads extension. It causes all threads in the program to terminate immediately, except the calling thread which proceeds normally. It is intended to be called just before a thread calls one of the exec functions, e.g. execve(2). Termination of the other threads is not performed through pthread_cancel(3) and completely bypasses the cancellation mechanism. Hence, the current settings for cancellation state and cancellation type are ignored, and the cleanup handlers are not executed in the terminated threads.AUTHORXavier Leroy <Xavier.Leroy@inria.fr>SEE ALSOexecve(2), pthread_setcancelstate(3), pthread_setcanceltype(3), pthread_cancel(3).BUGSAccording to POSIX 1003.1c, a successful exec* in one of the threads should terminate automatically all other threads in the program. This behavior is not yet implemented in LinuxThreads. Calling pthread_kill_other_threads_np before exec* achieves much of the same behavior, except that if exec* ultimately fails, then all other threads are already killed.
