NAME
       pthread_kill() - send a signal to a thread

SYNOPSIS
PARAMETERS
	      thread	Thread to which the signal is to be delivered.

	      sig	Signal to be delivered to thread.

DESCRIPTION
       The  function  is used to request that a signal be delivered to thread.
       The signal is asynchronously directed to thread in the calling process.
       The signal is handled in the context of the given thread; if the signal
       action results in the thread terminating or stopping,  this  action  is
       applied to the whole process.

       If sig is zero, error checking is performed but a signal is not sent.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, returns zero. Otherwise, an error number is
       returned to indicate the error (the variable is not set).

ERRORS
       If any of the following occur, the function returns  the	 corresponding
       error number:

	      [EINVAL]	     sig is an invalid or unsupported signal number.

	      [ESRCH]	     No thread could be found corresponding to thread.
