c++

I am writing program in c++ which runs GNU readline in separate thread. When main thread is exited I need to finish the thread in which readline() function is called. The readline() function is returned only when standart input came (enter pressed). Is there any way to send input to application or explicitly return from readline function? Thanks in advance.
