Re: straight-C DNS lookup with timeout?

Yes, you can kill pthreads. From `man pthread`:

int pthread_cancel(pthread_t thread)
Cancels execution of a thread.

You acquire the pthread_t from:

int pthread_create(pthread_t *thread, const pthread_attr_t *attr, void
*(*start_routine)(void *), void *arg)
Creates a new thread of execution.

Well, that would rock, except that currently I'm using NSThreads, which cannot be killed (unless someone has figured out how to do so, since the last time we all discussed this topic).

I really should be using pthreads anyway for portability reasons. I wonder if pthreads can be killed? If so, that would be great. I would make the switch in a heartbeat if that were the case.

Anyone know if pthreads can be killed from the main thread?
