NAME

       pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np, pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np - push and pop thread cancellation clean-up
       handlers while saving cancelability type

SYNOPSIS

       #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

       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

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