NAME         top

       pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np, pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np -
       push and pop thread cancellation clean-up handlers while saving
       cancelability type

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pthread.h>

       void pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np(void (*routine)(void *), void *arg);
       void pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np(int execute);

       Compile and link with -pthread.

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
   feature_test_macros(7)):

       pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np(), pthread_cleanup_pop_defer_np():
           _GNU_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions are the same as pthread_cleanup_push(3) and
       pthread_cleanup_pop(3), except for the differences noted on this
       page.

       Like pthread_cleanup_push(3), pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np()
       pushes routine onto the thread's stack of cancellation clean-up
       handlers.  In addition, it also saves the thread's current
       cancelability type, and sets the cancelability type to "deferred"
       (see pthread_setcanceltype(3)); this ensures that cancellation
       clean-up will occur even if the thread's cancelability type was
       "asynchronous" before the call.

       Like pthread_cleanup_pop(3), pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np()
       pops the top-most clean-up handler from the thread's stack of
       cancellation clean-up handlers.  In addition, it restores the
       thread's cancelability type to its value at the time of the
       matching pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np().

       The caller must ensure that calls to these functions are paired
       within the same function, and at the same lexical nesting level.
       Other restrictions apply, as described in
       pthread_cleanup_push(3).

       This sequence of calls:

           pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np(routine, arg);
           pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np(execute);

       is equivalent to (but shorter and more efficient than):

           int oldtype;

           pthread_cleanup_push(routine, arg);
           pthread_setcanceltype(PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED, &oldtype);
           ...
           pthread_setcanceltype(oldtype, NULL);
           pthread_cleanup_pop(execute);

CONFORMING TO         top

       These functions are nonstandard GNU extensions; hence the suffix
       "_np" (nonportable) in the names.
