`_lwp_wakeup` — make a blocked light-weight process runnable

# LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <lwp.h>`

int
`_lwp_wakeup`(lwpid_t lwp);

# DESCRIPTION

`_lwp_wakeup`() makes a blocked LWP runnable. The blocked LWP must be in `LSSLEEP` state. Unblocking the LWP does not guarantee that it will make progress; it may block again as soon as it resumes execution in the kernel.

# RETURN VALUES

[`ESRCH`]
  No LWP can be found in the current process corresponding to that specified by lwp.
[`ENODEV`]
  The specified LWP is not in `LSSLEEP` state.
[`EBUSY`]
  The specified LWP is blocked in an uninterruptible sleep.
