pthread_exit - terminate the calling thread 
<p> 
<h2><a name='sect1' href='#toc1'>Synopsis</a></h2>
<b>#include &lt;pthread.h&gt;</b>

<p> <b>void pthread_exit(void *</b><i>retval</i><b>);</b> 
<p> 
<h2><a name='sect2' href='#toc2'>Description</a></h2>
<b>pthread_exit</b> terminates the
execution of the calling thread. All cleanup handlers that have been set
for the calling thread with <a href='file:pthread_cleanup_push.html'><b>pthread_cleanup_push</b>(3)</a>
 are executed in reverse
order (the most recently pushed handler is executed first). Finalization
functions for thread-specific data are then called for all keys that have
non- <b>NULL</b> values associated with them in the calling thread (see <a href='file:pthread_key_create.html'><b>pthread_key_create</b>(3)</a>
).
Finally, execution of the calling thread is stopped. 
<p> The  <i>retval</i> argument
is the return value of the thread. It can be consulted from another thread
using  <a href='file:pthread_join.html'><b>pthread_join</b>(3)</a>
. 
<p> 
<h2><a name='sect3' href='#toc3'>Return Value</a></h2>
The  <b>pthread_exit</b> function never returns.
