pthread_testcancel - request delivery of any pending cancellation request

  #include <pthread.h>

  void pthread_testcancel(void);

  Compile and link with -pthread.

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.

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).
