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 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
       None
