DESCRIPTION

The pthread_testcancel() function checks for any pending cancellation requests against the calling thread. If a cancellation request is pending and the calling thread has its cancelability state enabled, the cancellation request will be acted upon. If the cancelability state of the calling thread is disabled, this function will have no effect.

RETURN VALUE

None. The pthread_testcancel() function does not return a value.

If the calling thread acts upon a cancellation request, this function will not return; the calling thread will be terminated.

ERRORS

None.
