LIBRARY

POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread_np.h>

void
pthread_suspend_all_np(void);

DESCRIPTION

The pthread_suspend_all_np() function causes all active threads to be suspended. The only exception is the current thread, the thread that called the pthread_suspend_all_np() function.

It is not safe for the caller of the pthread_suspend_all_np() function to use any non-async signal safe functions, besides pthread_resume_all_np(3), until threads are resumed, unless measures are taken to ensure that all threads are suspended at safe points.

“	On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.	”
