pthread_...hreads_np(3) Library Functions Manual pthread_...hreads_np(3)
pthread_kill_other_threads_np - terminate all other threads in
process
POSIX threads library (libpthread, -lpthread)
#include <pthread.h>
void pthread_kill_other_threads_np(void);
pthread_kill_other_threads_np() has an effect only in the
LinuxThreads threading implementation. On that implementation,
calling this function causes the immediate termination of all
threads in the application, except the calling thread. The
cancelation state and cancelation type of the to-be-terminated
threads are ignored, and the cleanup handlers are not called in
those threads.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).

In the NPTL threading implementation,
pthread_kill_other_threads_np() exists, but does nothing.
(Nothing needs to be done, because the implementation does the
right thing during an execve(2).)
GNU; hence the suffix "_np" (nonportable) in the name.
glibc 2.0
pthread_kill_other_threads_np() is intended to be called just
before a thread calls execve(2) or a similar function. This
function is designed to address a limitation in the obsolete
LinuxThreads implementation whereby the other threads of an
application are not automatically terminated (as POSIX.1-2001
requires) during execve(2).
