I am using IOThreadCreate() to create a new thread. At some later point I indicate to that thread to stop. How do I detect that the thread as exited? You don't. The kernel doesn't exit, so typically your thread signals a condition to acknowledge the request and then terminates. If you know the thread's safely asleep without state, and you have arranged accordingly beforehand, you can just terminate it out of hand. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
