pthread_exit(3P)					      pthread_exit(3P)

NAME
     pthread_exit - terminate the calling thread

C SYNOPSIS
     #include <pthread.h>

     void pthread_exit(void *retval);

DESCRIPTION
     The pthread_exit() function terminates the calling thread.	 If the thread
     is not detached, then the value retval may be retrieved by
     pthread_join().  If a thread returns from its start function [see
     pthread_create()] it acts as if it had called pthread_exit() with retval
     as the value returned.  A thread implicitly exits when it acts on a
     cancellation request [see pthread_cancel()].

     When a thread exits it pops and executes any cancellation handlers which
     are still active [see pthread_cleanup_push()].  Following the handlers,
     per-thread data is destroyed by invoking the destructor function for any
     non-zero thread specific values associated with active keys [see
     pthread_key_create()].

     When the last thread terminates the process exits with a zero status
     value.

DIAGNOSTICS
     No value is returned by pthread_exit().
