Description (last modified by mmu_man)

​NBDKit tries to ​use it to get the TERM signal on parent thread death.

​prctl is from Linux, ​procctl is from FreeBSD.

While we do have a notification API that can send THREAD_REMOVED, it's not really handy to use in unixish code, and patches using it would probably be rejected.
