LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS

#include <lwp.h>

int
_lwp_unpark(lwpid_t lwp, const void *hint);

DESCRIPTION

_lwp_unpark() resumes execution of the light-weight process lwp.

The target LWP is assumed to be waiting in the kernel as a result of a call to _lwp_park(). If the target LWP is not currently waiting, it will return immediately upon the next call to _lwp_park().

See _lwp_park(2) for a description of the hint argument.

RETURN VALUES

A 0 value indicates that the call succeeded. A -1 return value indicates an error occurred and errno is set to indicate the reason.

ERRORS

[ESRCH]

No LWP can be found in the current process corresponding to that specified by lwp.
