NAME         top

       pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np,  pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np - push
       and pop thread cancellation clean-up handlers while  saving  cancela‐
       bility type

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pthread.h>
       void pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np(void (*routine)(void *),
                                          void *arg);
       void pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np(int execute);
       Compile and link with -pthread.

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions are the same as pthread_cleanup_push(3) and
       pthread_cleanup_pop(3), except for the differences noted on this
       page.
       Like pthread_cleanup_push(3), pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np() pushes
       routine onto the thread's stack of cancellation clean-up handlers.
       In addition, it also saves the thread's current cancelability type,
       and sets the cancelability type to "deferred" (see
       pthread_setcanceltype(3)); this ensures that cancellation clean-up
       will occur even if the thread's cancelability type was "asynchronous"
       before the call.
       Like pthread_cleanup_pop(3), pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np() pops
       the top-most clean-up handler from the thread's stack of cancellation
       clean-up handlers.  In addition, it restores the thread's
       cancelability type to its value at the time of the matching
       pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np().
       The caller must ensure that calls to these functions are paired
       within the same function, and at the same lexical nesting level.
       Other restrictions apply, as described in pthread_cleanup_push(3).
       This sequence of calls:
           pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np(routine, arg);
           pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np(execute);
       is equivalent to (but shorter and more efficient than):
           int oldtype;
           pthread_cleanup_push(routine, arg);
           pthread_setcanceltype(PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED, &oldtype);
           ...
           pthread_setcanceltype(oldtype, NULL);
           pthread_cleanup_pop(execute);

CONFORMING TO         top

       These functions are nonstandard GNU extensions; hence the suffix
       "_np" (nonportable) in the names.
