_lwp_exit(2)                                            _lwp_exit(2)


       NAME
             _lwp_exit - terminate the calling LWP

       SYNOPSIS
             #include <sys/lwp.h>
             void _lwp_exit(void);

       DESCRIPTION
             _lwp_exit terminates execution of the calling lightweight
             process (LWP).  If the caller is the last LWP associated with
             the process, the process is terminated as well.  The exit
             status in this case is not specified.

             If the LWP was not created with the LWP_DETACHED flag set, the
             following behavior occurs:

                   If a sibling LWP is blocked in an _lwp_wait for this
                   LWP, one such sibling LWP will return from its _lwp_wait
                   call.

                   Otherwise, if a sibling LWP is blocked in an _lwp_wait
                   for any LWP, one such sibling LWP will return from its
                   _lwp_wait call.

                   If neither of the previous two conditions holds, the
                   system will store an indication that the exiting LWP has
                   terminated.

             If the LWP was created with the LWP_DETACHED flag set, this
             LWP cannot be waited for, and no record is retained.

             If two or more LWPs wait explicitly for the same LWP then one
             will succeed and the others will get error ESRCH.

          Return Values
             _lwp_exit does not return a value.

          Errors
             None.

       USAGE
             Exit status is not used for LWPs.
