#include <sys/sleep.h>int e_block_thread ()The e_block_thread kernel service blocks the calling kernel thread. The thread must have issued a request to sleep (by calling the e_assert_wait kernel service). If it has been removed from its event list, it remains runnable.
The e_block_thread kernel service can be called from the process environment only.
The e_block_thread kernel service return a value that indicate how the thread was awakened. The following values are defined:
| Item | Description |

| THREAD_AWAKENED | Denotes a normal wakeup; the event occurred. |
| THREAD_INTERRUPTED | Denotes an interruption by a signal. |
| THREAD_TIMED_OUT | Denotes a timeout expiration. |
| THREAD_OTHER | Delineates the predefined system codes from those that need to be defined at the subsystem level. Subsystem should define their own values greater than or equal to this value. |
