Description
Calling pthread_testcancel() creates a cancelation point within the calling thread, so that a thread that
is otherwise executing code that contains no cancelation points will respond to a cancelation request.
If cancelability is disabled (using pthread_setcancelstate(3)), or no cancelation request is pending,
then a call to pthread_testcancel() has no effect.
Errors
This function always succeeds.
Examples
See pthread_cleanup_push(3).
