Os-Threads

Arguments: process &optional no-unwind

This function causes process when it next runs to throw out to its present computation, if any, then apply its initial function to its initial argument. The no-unwind argument controls what happens to process' present computation, if it has one. nil (the default) or :unless-current cause the process to be unwound unless it is the current process. t unconditionally skips the unwind. Any other value is equivalent to t, causing an unconditional unwind, which will throw out of the caller even if the process being reset is current.

The argument kill must be nil. (It is maintained only for backward compatibility). An error is signaled if it is not.

If process is an immigrant process, an error is signaled.
