_LWP_WAIT(2)                  System Calls Manual                 _LWP_WAIT(2)

NAME
     _lwp_wait - wait for light-weight process termination

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <lwp.h>

     int
     _lwp_wait(lwpid_t wlwp, lwpid_t *rlwp);

DESCRIPTION
     _lwp_wait() suspends execution of the calling LWP until the LWP specified
     by wlwp terminates.  The specified LWP must not be detached.  If wlwp is
     0, then _lwp_wait() waits for any undetached LWP in the current process.

     If rlwp is not NULL, then it points to the location where the LWP ID of
     the exited LWP is stored.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon successful completion, _lwp_wait() returns a value of 0.  Otherwise,
     an error code is returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     _lwp_wait() will fail if:

     [ESRCH]    No LWP can be found in the current process corresponding to
                that specified by wlwp.

     [EDEADLK]  The calling LWP is the only LWP in the process.

     [EDEADLK]  The LWP ID specified by wlwp is the LWP ID of the calling LWP.

     [EINVAL]   The LWP specified by wlwp is detached.

     [EINTR]    _lwp_wait() was interrupted by a caught signal, or the signal
                did not have the SA_RESTART flag set.
