NAME
       tis_testcancel - Creates a cancelation point in the calling thread.

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

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tis.h>

       void   tis_testcancel(void);

STANDARDS
       None

PARAMETERS
       None

DESCRIPTION
       This  routine  requests	delivery of a pending cancelation request to the calling thread. Thus, this routine creates a cancelation point in
       the calling thread.  The cancelation 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 cancelation requests to itself by calling tis_setcancelstate(3).)

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

RETURN VALUES
       None
