NAME

pthread_suspend_np — suspend a thread

LIBRARY

POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread_np.h>

int
pthread_suspend_np(pthread_t tid);

DESCRIPTION

The pthread_suspend_np() function, called on an active thread, causes it to suspend.

It is not safe for the caller of the pthread_suspend_np() function to use any non-async signal safe functions, except pthread_resume_np(3), until suspended thread is resumed, unless measures are taken to ensure that the thread is suspended at a safe point.

RETURN VALUES

If successful, pthread_suspend_np() function returns 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS

The pthread_suspend_np() function will fail if:

[EDEADLK]

An attempt was made to suspend the current thread.

[EINVAL]

The value specified by the tid argument is invalid.

[ESRCH]

No thread could be found corresponding to the thread ID specified by the tid argument.
