<h2><a name='sect2' href='#toc2'>Description</a></h2> | |
<b>pthread_exit</b> terminates the | |
execution of the calling thread. All cleanup handlers that have been set | |
for the calling thread with <a href='file:pthread_cleanup_push.html'><b>pthread_cleanup_push</b>(3)</a> | |
are executed in reverse | |
order (the most recently pushed handler is executed first). Finalization | |
functions for thread-specific data are then called for all keys that have | |
non- <b>NULL</b> values associated with them in the calling thread (see <a href='file:pthread_key_create.html'><b>pthread_key_create</b>(3)</a> | |
). | |
Finally, execution of the calling thread is stopped. | |
<p> The <i>retval</i> argument | |
is the return value of the thread. It can be consulted from another thread | |
using <a href='file:pthread_join.html'><b>pthread_join</b>(3)</a> | |
. | |

<h2><a name='sect3' href='#toc3'>Return Value</a></h2> | |
The <b>pthread_exit</b> function never returns. | |
