DESCRIPTION
This routine requests delivery of a pending cancellation request to the
calling thread. Thus, this routine creates a cancellation point in the
calling thread. The cancellation request is delivered only if a
request is pending for the calling thread and the calling thread's can‐
celability state is enabled. (A thread disables delivery of cancella‐
tion requests to itself by calling tis_setcancelstate(3).)
This routine, when called within very long loops, ensures that a pend‐
ing cancellation request is noticed within a reasonable amount of time.
RETURN VALUES
