tis_testcancel(3) Library Functions Manual tis_testcancel(3) NAME tis_testcancel - Creates a cancelation point in the calling thread. LIBRARY Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a) SYNOPSIS #include <tis.h> void tis_testcancel(void); STANDARDS None PARAMETERS None DESCRIPTION This routine requests delivery of a pending cancelation request to the calling thread. Thus, this routine creates a cancelation point in the calling thread. The cancelation request is delivered only if a request is pending for the calling thread and the calling thread's cancelabil- ity state is enabled. (A thread disables delivery of cancelation re- quests to itself by calling tis_setcancelstate(3).) This routine, when called within very long loops, ensures that a pend- ing cancelation request is noticed within a reasonable amount of time.
