pthread_testcancel(3) Library Functions Manual pthread_testcancel(3)
NAME
pthread_testcancel - request delivery of any pending cancelation re-
quest
LIBRARY
POSIX threads library (libpthread, -lpthread)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
void pthread_testcancel(void);
DESCRIPTION
Calling pthread_testcancel() creates a cancelation point within the
calling thread, so that a thread that is otherwise executing code that
contains no cancelation points will respond to a cancelation request.
If cancelability is disabled (using pthread_setcancelstate(3)), or no
cancelation request is pending, then a call to pthread_testcancel() has
no effect.
RETURN VALUE
This function does not return a value. If the calling thread is can-
celed as a consequence of a call to this function, then the function
does not return.
ERRORS
This function always succeeds.
