pthread_testcancel(3)	    Library Functions Manual	   pthread_testcancel(3)

NAME
     pthread_testcancel - request delivery of any pending cancelation request

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  can-
     celation request is pending, then a call to pthread_testcancel() has no ef-
     fect.

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 re-
     turn.

ERRORS
     This function always succeeds.
