pthread_exit - terminate the calling thread 
 
#include <pthread.h>
 void pthread_exit(void *retval); 
 
pthread_exit terminates the
execution of the calling thread. All cleanup handlers that have been set
for the calling thread with pthread_cleanup_push(3)
 are executed in reverse
order (the most recently pushed handler is executed first). Finalization
functions for thread-specific data are then called for all keys that have
non- NULL values associated with them in the calling thread (see pthread_key_create(3)
).
Finally, execution of the calling thread is stopped. 
 The  retval argument
is the return value of the thread. It can be consulted from another thread
using  pthread_join(3)
. 
 
The  pthread_exit function never returns.
