DosExit



#define INCL_DOSPROCESS

VOID    DosExit(ActionCode, ResultCode);

USHORT           ActionCode;    /* Indicates end thread or process */
USHORT           ResultCode;    /* Result Code to save for DosCwait */

Example 
In this example, the main routine starts up another program, simple.exe, 
and then expects a return code of 3 to be returned. Simple.exe sets the 
return code with DosExit. 

#define INCL_DOSPROCESS

#define START_PROGRAM "simple.exe"
#define RETURN_OK 3

CHAR        LoadError[100];
PSZ         Args;
PSZ         Envs;
RESULTCODES ReturnCodes;
USHORT      rc;

   if(!DosExecPgm(LoadError,                     /* Object name buffer */
                  sizeof(LoadError),             /* Length of object name
                                                     buffer */
                  EXEC_SYNC,                     /* Asynchronous/Trace
                                                        flags */
                  Args,                          /* Argument string */
                  Envs,                          /* Environment string */
                  &ReturnCodes,                  /* Termination codes */
                  START_PROGRAM))                /* Program file name */
      if (ReturnCodes.codeResult == RETURN_OK)   /* Check result code */
         printf("things are ok..");
      else
         printf("something is wrong...");

#define INCL_DOSPROCESS

#define RETURN_CODE 3

main( )
   {
   printf("Hello!\n");
   DosExit(EXIT_THREAD,           /* End thread/process */

   }

The following example shows how to suspend and resume execution of a 
thread within a process.  The main thread creates Thread2 and allows it to 
begin executing.  Thread2 iterates through a loop that prints a line and 
then sleeps, relinquishing its time slice to the main thread. After one 
iteration by Thread2, the main thread suspends Thread2 and then resumes 
it.  Subsequently, Thread2 completes the remaining three iterations.

#define   SLEEPLONG     75L    /* Sleep interval - 75 milliseconds */
#define   RETURN_CODE   0      /* Return code for DosExit() */

VOID APIENTRY Thread2()
{
  USHORT     i;

  /* Loop with four iterations */

    printf("In Thread2, i is now %d\n", i);

    /* Sleep to relinquish time slice to main thread */
    DosSleep(SLEEPSHORT);          /* Sleep interval */
  }
  DosExit(EXIT_THREAD,             /* Action code - end a thread */
          RETURN_CODE);            /* Return code */
}

  if(!(rc=DosSuspendThread(ThreadID)))         /* Thread ID */
