<H2><A HREF="#toc2" NAME="sect2">Description</A></H2>
<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>
