- <P>These two functions provide hooks into the <A HREF="pthread_cancel.html"><B>pthread_cancel</B></A>()
- 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 <B>HANDLE</B> is signalled, or <A HREF="pthread_cancel.html"><B>pthread_cancel</B></A>()
- has been called. They are implemented using <B>WaitForMultipleObjects</B>
- on <I>waitHandle</I> and the manually reset Win32 event handle that
- is the target of <A HREF="pthread_cancel.html"><B>pthread_cancel</B></A>().
- These routines may be called from Win32 native threads but
- <A HREF="pthread_cancel.html"><B>pthread_cancel</B></A>() will
- require that thread's POSIX thread ID that the thread must retrieve
- using <A HREF="pthread_self.html"><B>pthread_self</B></A>().</P>
- <P><B>pthreadCancelableTimedWait</B> is the timed version that will
- return with the code <B>ETIMEDOUT</B> if the interval <I>timeout</I>
- milliseconds elapses before <I>waitHandle</I> is signalled.</P>
- <H2><A HREF="#toc3" NAME="sect3">Cancellation</A></H2>
- <P>These routines allow routines that block on Win32 HANDLEs to be
- cancellable via <A HREF="pthread_cancel.html"><B>pthread_cancel</B></A>().</P>
