Hello, Let's say main program creates a secondary thread, which blocks on a file descriptor (e.g. when trying to read); Now main program wants to terminate. Does it have to cancel/terminate the secondary thread first ? can it cancel it ? how ? will pthread_cancel work ? If it will not cancel the secondary thread, but just exit() instead, will the other thread keep running in the system ? Thank You very much ! naziir (hope this is not too off-topic..) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
