THREAD_INHIBIT(3T)                   SysV                   THREAD_INHIBIT(3T)



NAME
     thread_inhibit, thread_enable - increment and decrement the inhibit count

SYNOPSIS
     include <apollo/thread.h>

     void thread_inhibit(void)

     void thread_enable(void)

DESCRIPTION
     The thread_inhibit and thread_enable calls increment and decrement the
     inhibit count for the current thread.  While the inhibit count is not 0,
     the thread may not receive termination or cleanup requests, may not be
     suspended, may not receive UNIX system signals if it is the signal-
     handling thread, and may not have its register state read or set.

     The Domain/OS calls pfm_$inhibit and pfm_$enable are mapped onto
     thread_inhibit and thread_enable.  Refer to the Domain/OS Call Reference
     for more information on pfm_$inhibit and pfm_$enable
