Thread recovery

* Void pthread_exit (void retval) the introduction of a single thread ;:

Contrast: exit (): Process Exit
difference of the following three:
(1) Exit (): the whole process exits;
(2) pthread_exit (): the current thread exits;
(3) return: return to the caller where to go;

pthread_join int ** (pthread_t the Thread, void retval): waiting thread exit

Contrast: wait wait for the child process exits blocked
