Create()

IMPORT_C TInt Create ( )

Creates a thread-death notifier, and opens this handle to that thread-death notifier.

Ownership of this thread-death notifier is vested in the current process.

Logon(TRequestStatus &, TInt &)

IMPORT_C TInt Logon ( TRequestStatus & aStatus,
TInt & aThreadHandle
) const

Issues a request for notification of the death of a thread.

When another thread dies, the request completes and the TRequestStatus object contains the value KErrDied; in addition, aThreadHandle contains the handle-number of the dying thread.

The requesting thread can construct a proper handle for the dying thread using the code:

         {
RThread r;
r.SetHandle(aThreadHandle);
...r.Close();
}
        

Alternatively, if an outstanding request is cancelled by a call to LogonCancel() , then the request completes with the value KErrCancel.

Note that if a request completes normally, i.e. not as a result of a LogonCancel() , then the handle to the dying thread must be closed when there is no further interest in it.

RUndertaker::LogonCancel()

Parameters

TRequestStatus & aStatus A reference to the request status object.
TInt & aThreadHandle The handle-number representing the dying thread.

LogonCancel()

IMPORT_C TInt LogonCancel ( ) const

Cancels an outstanding notification request to the thread-death notifier.
