Subject: Suspending/blocking calls(wait(),pthread_join() ,select()..)

Please help me with the following!!

Can I be sure that, whatever recent distribution of Linux I am using, when in the man specifications for a call I see "suspends execution" or "blocks execution" (like for wait(),pthread_join() ,select()..) the calling thread or process leaves the CPU (does not keep CPU busy) and is put at the end of its priority queue for successive scheduling?

Thanks

That's the idea I get from reading the man page. But, you should talk to the developers to be sure.

Forgot to complete my last message. I was going to suggest these programming specific forum boards where you'll probably find an answer:

http://forum.codecall.net/
