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_cancel()
has no effect.
RETURN VALUE
This function does not return a value.
If the calling thread is canceled as a consequence of a call
to this function, then the function does not return.
This page is part of release 3.14 of the Linux
man-pages
project.
