In general, that cannot be done. Often, you resort to a dirty trick whereby the monitoring thread closes the I/O object requesting thread is waiting on, triggering an immediate I/O exception in the requesting thread. The fact that threads cannot be terminated at will is one of the big drawbacks of the multithreaded programming model. Note that coroutines can always be interrupted at await.
