30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm thr_exit
33.Nd terminate current thread
34.Sh LIBRARY
35.Lb libc
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In sys/thr.h
38.Ft void
39.Fn thr_exit "long *state"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41.Bf -symbolic
42This function is intended for implementing threading.
43Normal applications should call
44.Xr pthread_exit 3
45instead.
46.Ef
47.Pp
48The
49.Fn thr_exit
50system call terminates the current kernel-scheduled thread.
51.Pp
52If the
53.Fa state
54argument is not
55.Dv NULL ,
56the location pointed to by the argument is
57updated with an arbitrary non-zero value, and an
58.Xr _umtx_op 2
59.Dv UMTX_OP_WAKE
60operation is consequently performed on the location.
61.Pp
62Attempts to terminate the last thread in the process are silently ignored.
63Use
64.Xr _exit 2
65syscall to terminate the process.
66.Sh RETURN VALUES
67The function does not return a value.
68A return from the function indicates that the calling thread was the
69last one in the process.

84to implement
85.St -p1003.1-2001
86.Xr pthread 3
87functionality.
