.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fB_lwp_suspend()\fR function immediately suspends the execution of the LWP specified by \fItarget_lwp\fR. On successful return from \fB_lwp_suspend()\fR, \fItarget_lwp\fR is no longer executing. Once a thread is suspended, subsequent calls to \fB_lwp_suspend()\fR have no affect.
.sp
.LP
The \fB_lwp_continue()\fR function resumes the execution of a suspended LWP. Once a suspended LWP is continued, subsequent calls to \fB_lwp_continue()\fR have no effect.
.sp
.LP
A suspended LWP will not be awakened by a signal. The signal stays pending until the execution of the LWP is resumed by \fB_lwp_continue()\fR.
