+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm thr_suspend
+.Nd suspend the calling thread
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/thr.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn thr_suspend "struct timespec *timeout"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Bf -symbolic
+This function is intended for implementing threading.
+Normal applications should use
+.Xr pthread_cond_timedwait 3
+together with
+.Xr pthread_cond_broadcast 3
+for typical safe suspension with cooperation of the thread
+being suspended, or
+.Xr pthread_suspend_np 3
+and
+.Xr pthread_resume_np 3
+in some specific situations, instead.
+.Ef
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn thr_suspend
+system call puts the calling thread in a suspended state, where it is
+not eligible for CPU time.
+This state is exited by another thread calling
+.Xr thr_wake 2 ,
+when the time interval specified by
+.Fa timeout
+has elapsed,
+or by the delivery of a signal to the suspended thread.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Fa timeout
+argument is
+.Dv NULL ,
+the suspended state can be only terminated by explicit
+.Fn thr_wake
+or signal.
+.Pp
+If a wake from
+.Xr thr_wake 2
+was delivered before the
+.Nm
+call, the thread is not put into a suspended state.
+Instead, the call
+returns immediately without an error.
+.Pp
+If a thread previously called
+.Xr thr_wake 2
+with its own thread identifier, which resulted in setting the internal kernel
+flag to immediately abort interruptible sleeps with an
+.Er EINTR
+error
+.Po
+see
+.Xr thr_wake 2
+.Pc ,
+the flag is cleared.
+As with
+.Xr thr_wake 2
+called from another thread, the next
+.Nm
+call does not result in suspension.
+.Pp
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Rv -std thr_suspend
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn thr_suspend
+operation returns the following errors:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+The memory pointed to by the
+.Fa timeout
+argument is not valid.
+.It Bq Er ETIMEDOUT
+The specified timeout expired.
+.It Bq Er ETIMEDOUT
+The
+.Fa timeout
+argument specified a zero time interval.
+.It Bq Er EINTR
+The sleep was interrupted by a signal.

+.Xr ps 1 ,
+.Xr thr_wake 2 ,
+.Xr pthread_resume_np 3 ,
+.Xr pthread_suspend_np 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn thr_suspend
+system call is non-standard.
