_lwp_kill
—
#include <lwp.h>
int
_lwp_kill
(lwpid_t
lwp, int sig);
_lwp_kill
() sends the signal specified by
sig to the light-weight process specified by
lwp. If the sig argument is given
as 0 (zero), _lwp_kill
will test for the existence of
the target LWP, but will take no further action.
Job control signals and uncatchable signals can not be directed to
a specific LWP: if posted with _lwp_kill
, they will
affect all LWPs in the process.
Signals will be posted successfully to suspended LWPs, but will not be handled further until the LWP has been continued.
_lwp_kill
() system call first appeared in
NetBSD 5.0.
