<p>The <strong>pthread_kill</strong>() function requests that the signal <em>sig</em> be delivered to the specified <em>thread</em>. The signal to be sent is specified by <em>sig</em> and is either zero or one of the signals from the list of defined signals in the <strong><signal.h></strong> header file. If <em>sig</em> is zero, error checking is performed, but no signal is sent to the target <em>thread</em>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A thread can use <strong>pthread_kill</strong>() to send a signal to itself. If the signal is not blocked or ignored, at least one pending unblocked signal is delivered to the sender before <strong>pthread_kill</strong>() returns. If there are no other pending unblocked signals, the delivered signal is <em>sig</em>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <strong>pthread_kill</strong>() API in no way changes the effect or scope of a signal. Even though a signal can be sent to a specific thread using the <strong>pthread_kill</strong>() API, the behavior that occurs when the signal is delivered is unchanged.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, sending a <strong>SIGKILL</strong> signal to a thread using <strong>pthread_kill</strong>() ends the entire process, not simply the target thread. <strong>SIGKILL</strong> is defined to end the entire process, regardless of the thread it is delivered to, or how it is sent.</p>
