LFREE(3PROC) Process Control Library Functions LFREE(3PROC)

NAME

Lfree - free a control handle to a thread

LIBRARY

Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <libproc.h>

void
Lfree(struct ps_lwphandle *L);

DESCRIPTION

The Lfree() function releases all control resources associated with the
handle L. After Lfree(), calls to other libproc routines which
leverage information from the handle L will no longer work as the
handle has been invalidated.

The state of the thread controlled by L is not affected by the call to
Lfree(). The thread's state will not transition from running to
stopped or vice-versa. It will retain its state prior to the call to
Lfree().

Uncommitted
