CLASS="FUNCTION"

>NOTES</H2
><P
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>pthread_suspend_np</TT
> can be called from a signal or interrupt handler, but should be used with some care. RTLinux hard signal handlers (interrupt handlers) execute in the context of whatever thread was running when the interrupt
was accepted by the hardware. If thread "A" was running when an interrupt handler
started and the handler calls <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>pthread_suspend_np</TT
>, then 
the scheduler will save thread "A" and run another thread. If you call
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>pthread_suspend_np</TT
> from an interrupt handler running
in the context of the general purpose operating system thread (Linux), then
all general purpose operations and processes will stop until the thread is
waked.</P
