pthread_testcancel - request delivery of any pending cancelation request
POSIX threads library (
libpthread,
-lpthread)
#include <pthread.h>
void pthread_testcancel(void);
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.
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 function always succeeds.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).
