tis_testcancel(3)
NAME
  tis_testcancel - Creates a cancellation point in the calling thread

SYNOPSIS
  #include <tis.h>

  void tis_testcancel(
	  void );

LIBRARY
  Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)

STANDARDS
  None

PARAMETERS
  None

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 cancelability state
  is enabled. (A thread disables delivery of cancellation requests to itself
  by calling tis_setcancelstate(3).)

  This routine, when called within very long loops, ensures that a pending
  cancellation request is noticed within a reasonable amount of time.

RETURN VALUES
  None
