PTHREAD_TESTCANCEL(3) Linux Programmer's Manual PTHREAD_TESTCANCEL(3)

NAME

     pthread_testcancel  -  request  delivery  of  any  pending cancellation
     request

SYNOPSIS

     #include <pthread.h>
     void pthread_testcancel(void);
     Compile and link with -pthread.

DESCRIPTION

     Calling pthread_testcancel() creates a cancellation  point  within  the
     calling  thread, so that a thread that is otherwise executing code that
     contains no cancellation points will respond to a cancellation request.
     If  cancelability  is disabled (using pthread_setcancelstate(3)), or no
     cancellation 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.
