I was looking into this also a while ago for one of those gnome napster clients. They were talking about this a while ago on freebsd-hackers. My understanding is that pthread_cancel is in -CURRENT and is not going to wander into 3.4. But it is a standard POSIX call, and is documented at: http://www.opengroup.org/public/pubs/online/7908799/xsh/pthread_cancel.html. --judd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
