#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_setcancelstate(int
state, int
*oldstate);
int pthread_setcanceltype(int
type, int
*oldtype );
void pthread_testcancel(void);
The
pthread_setcancelstate() function shall atomically both set the
calling thread's cancelability state to the indicated
state and return
the previous cancelability state at the location referenced by
oldstate. Legal values for
state are PTHREAD_CANCEL_ENABLE and
PTHREAD_CANCEL_DISABLE.
The
pthread_setcanceltype() function shall atomically both set the
calling thread's cancelability type to the indicated
type and return
the previous cancelability type at the location referenced by
oldtype.
Legal values for
type are PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED and
PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS.
The cancelability state and type of any newly created threads, including the
thread in which
main() was first invoked, shall be
PTHREAD_CANCEL_ENABLE and PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED respectively.
The
pthread_testcancel() function shall create a cancellation point in
the calling thread. The
pthread_testcancel() function shall have no
effect if cancelability is disabled.
If successful, the
pthread_setcancelstate() and
pthread_setcanceltype() functions shall return zero; otherwise, an
error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
The
pthread_setcancelstate() function may fail if:
- EINVAL
- The specified state is not PTHREAD_CANCEL_ENABLE or
PTHREAD_CANCEL_DISABLE.
The
pthread_setcanceltype() function may fail if:
- EINVAL
- The specified type is not PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED or
PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS.
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
The following sections are informative.

The
pthread_setcancelstate() and
pthread_setcanceltype() functions
control the points at which a thread may be asynchronously canceled. For
cancellation control to be usable in modular fashion, some rules need to be
followed.
An object can be considered to be a generalization of a procedure. It is a set
of procedures and global variables written as a unit and called by clients not
known by the object. Objects may depend on other objects.
First, cancelability should only be disabled on entry to an object, never
explicitly enabled. On exit from an object, the cancelability state should
always be restored to its value on entry to the object.
This follows from a modularity argument: if the client of an object (or the
client of an object that uses that object) has disabled cancelability, it is
because the client does not want to be concerned about cleaning up if the
thread is canceled while executing some sequence of actions. If an object is
called in such a state and it enables cancelability and a cancellation request
is pending for that thread, then the thread is canceled, contrary to the wish
of the client that disabled.
Second, the cancelability type may be explicitly set to either
deferred
or
asynchronous upon entry to an object. But as with the cancelability
state, on exit from an object the cancelability type should always be restored
to its value on entry to the object.
Finally, only functions that are cancel-safe may be called from a thread that is
asynchronously cancelable.
None.
