Name

pthreadCancelableTimedWait, +pthreadCancelableWait – provide cancellation hooks for user Win32 +routines

Synopsis

#include <pthread.h> +

int pthreadCancelableTimedWait (HANDLE waitHandle, +DWORD timeout);

int pthreadCancelableWait (HANDLE waitHandle);

Description

These two functions provide hooks into the pthread_cancel() +mechanism that will allow you to wait on a Windows handle and make it +a cancellation point. Both functions block until either the given +Win32 HANDLE is signalled, or pthread_cancel() +has been called. They are implemented using WaitForMultipleObjects +on waitHandle and the manually reset Win32 event handle that +is the target of pthread_cancel(). +These routines may be called from Win32 native threads but +pthread_cancel() will +require that thread's POSIX thread ID that the thread must retrieve +using pthread_self().

pthreadCancelableTimedWait is the timed version that will +return with the code ETIMEDOUT if the interval timeout +milliseconds elapses before waitHandle is signalled.

ETIMEDOUT +

+ +

+The interval timeout milliseconds elapsed before waitHandle +was signalled.
