PTHREAD_KILL(3)		    BSD Programmer's Manual	       PTHREAD_KILL(3)

NAME
     pthread_kill - send signal to a process

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pthread.h>
     #include <signal.h>

     int
     pthread_kill(pthread_t thread, int sig);

DESCRIPTION
     The pthread_kill() function sends the signal given by sig to the speci-
     fied thread. Sig may be one of the signals specified in sigaction(2) or
     it may be 0, in which case error checking is performed but no signal is
     actually sent.  This can be used to check the validity of thread.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.  Otherwise, an er-
     ror value is returned.

ERRORS
     Pthread_kill() will fail and no signal will be sent if:

     [EINVAL]  Sig is not a valid signal number.

     [ESRCH]   No thread can be found corresponding to that specified by
	       thread.

SEE ALSO
     kill(2),  pthread_sigmask(3) sigaction(2)

STANDARDS
     The pthread_kill() function is expected to conform to IEEE Std1003.1c
     (``POSIX'').
