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

NAME         top

       pthread_testcancel - request delivery of any pending cancellation
       request

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pthread.h>

       void pthread_testcancel(void);

       Compile and link with -pthread.

DESCRIPTION         top

       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         top

       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.

ERRORS         top

       This function always succeeds.
