29.Dt THR_WAKE 2
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm thr_wake
33.Nd wake up the suspended thread
34.Sh LIBRARY
35.Lb libc
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In sys/thr.h
38.Ft int
39.Fn thr_wake "long id"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41.Bf -symbolic
42This function is intended for implementing threading.
43Normal applications should use
44.Xr pthread_cond_timedwait 3
45together with
46.Xr pthread_cond_broadcast 3
47for typical safe suspension with cooperation of the thread
48being suspended, or
49.Xr pthread_suspend_np 3
50and
51.Xr pthread_resume_np 3
52in some specific situations, instead.
53.Ef
54.Pp
55Passing the thread identifier of the calling thread
56.Po
57see
58.Xr thr_self 2
59.Pc
60to
61.Fn thr_wake
62sets a thread's flag to cause the next signal-interruptible sleep
63of that thread in the kernel to fail immediately with the
64.Er EINTR
65error.
66The flag is cleared by an interruptible sleep attempt or by a call to
67.Xr thr_suspend 2 .
68This is used by the system threading library to implement cancellation.
69.Pp
70If
71.Fa id
72is not equal to the current thread identifier, the specified thread is
73woken up if suspended by the
74.Xr thr_suspend 2
75system call.
76If the thread is not suspended at the time of the
77.Nm
78call, the wake is remembered and the next attempt of the thread to
79suspend itself with the
80.Xr thr_suspend 2
81results in immediate return with success.
82Only one wake is remembered.
83.Sh RETURN VALUES
84.Rv -std thr_wake
85.Sh ERRORS
86The
87.Fn thr_wake
88operation returns these errors:
89.Bl -tag -width Er
90.It Bq Er ESRCH
91The specified thread was not found or does not belong to the process
92of the calling thread.

101.Sh STANDARDS
102The
103.Fn thr_suspend
104system call is non-standard and is used by
105.Lb libthr
106to implement
107.St -p1003.1-2001
108.Xr pthread 3
109functionality.
110.Sh HISTORY
111The
112.Fn thr_suspend
113system call first appeared in
114.Fx 5.2 .
