thr_suspend Syntax

#include <thread.h>

int thr_suspend(thread_t tid);

After a thread is suspended, subsequent calls to thr_suspend() have no effect. Signals cannot awaken the suspended thread. The signals remain pending until the thread resumes execution.

In the following synopsis, pthread_t tid as defined in pthreads is the same as thread_t tid in Solaris threads. tid values can be used interchangeably either by assignment or through the use of casts.

thread_t tid; /* tid from thr_create() */

/* pthreads equivalent of Solaris tid from thread created */
/* with pthread_create() */
pthread_t ptid; 

int ret;

ret = thr_suspend(tid);

/* using pthreads ID variable with a cast */
ret = thr_suspend((thread_t) ptid);
