pthread_testcancel(3-thr)                         pthread_testcancel(3-thr)

NAME
     pthreadtestcancel - requests delivery of a pending cancel to the
     current thread

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pthread.h>

     void pthreadtestcancel();

DESCRIPTION
     The pthreadtestcancel() routine requests delivery of a pending cancel
     to the current thread. The cancel is delivered only if a cancel is
     pending for the current thread and general cancel delivery is not
     currently disabled. (A thread disables delivery of cancels to itself
     by calling the pthreadsetcancel() routine.)

     This routine, when called within very long loops, ensures that a pend-
     ing cancel is noticed within a reasonable amount of time.

RETURN VALUES
     No value is returned.
