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.

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).)
