The FreeLibraryAndExitThread function decrements the reference count of a loaded dynamic-link library (DLL) by one, and then calls ExitThread to terminate the calling thread. The function does not return.
The FreeLibraryAndExitThread function gives threads that are created and executed within a dynamic-link library an opportunity to safely unload the DLL and terminate themselves.
VOID FreeLibraryAndExitThread(
| HMODULE hLibModule, | // dynamic-link library whose reference count is to decrement |
| DWORD dwExitCode | // exit code for thread |
| ); |
Parameters
hLibModule
Specifies the dynamic-link library module whose reference count the function decrements.
dwExitCode
Specifies the exit code for the calling thread.
Return Values
The function has no return value. The function does not return. Invalid hLibModule handles are ignored.
Remarks
The FreeLibraryAndExitThread function is implemented as:
FreeLibrary(hLibModule);
ExitThread(dwExitCode);
Refer to the reference pages for FreeLibrary and ExitThread for further information on those functions.
