PTHREAD_KILL_OTHER_THREADS_Linux Programmer's PTHREAD_KILL_OTHER_THREADS_NP(3)

NAME
       pthread_kill_other_threads_np - terminate all other threads in process

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       void pthread_kill_other_threads_np(void);

DESCRIPTION
       pthread_kill_other_threads_np()	has an effect only in the LinuxThreads
       threading implementation.  On that implementation, calling  this	 func‐
       tion  causes  the  immediate termination of all threads in the applica‐
       tion, except the calling thread.	 The cancellation state and  cancella‐
       tion  type of the to-be-terminated threads are ignored, and the cleanup
       handlers are not called in those threads.

ATTRIBUTES
       For  an	explanation  of	 the  terms  used   in	 this	section,   see
       attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO
       This  function  is  a nonstandard GNU extension; hence the suffix "_np"
       (nonportable) in the name.

NOTES
       pthread_kill_other_threads_np() is intended to be called just before  a
       thread  calls  execve(2)	 or  a	similar	 function.   This  function is
       designed to address a limitation in the obsolete LinuxThreads implemen‐
       tation  whereby	the  other threads of an application are not automati‐
       cally terminated (as POSIX.1-2001 requires) during execve(2).

       In the NPTL threading  implementation,  pthread_kill_other_threads_np()
       exists,	but  does  nothing.   (Nothing	needs  to be done, because the
       implementation does the right thing during an execve(2).)

SEE ALSO
       execve(2), pthread_cancel(3),  pthread_setcancelstate(3),  pthread_set‐
       canceltype(3), pthreads(7)
