<p>The <strong>pthread_getcancelstate_np</strong>() function gets the current
cancel <em>state</em> of the thread. Cancel state is either
PTHREAD_CANCEL_ENABLE or PTHREAD_CANCEL_DISABLE. For more information on
cancelability, see <a href="users_38.htm">Thread cancellation APIs</a>.</p>
<p>When cancelability is disabled, all cancels are held pending in the target
thread until the thread changes the cancelability. When cancelability is
deferred, all cancels are held pending in the target thread until the thread
changes the cancelability, calls a function that is a cancellation point, or
calls <strong>pthread_testcancel</strong>(), thus creating a cancellation
point. When cancelability is asynchronous, all cancels are acted upon
immediately, interrupting the thread with its processing.</p>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Your application should not use asynchronous thread cancellation through the
<strong>PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS</strong> option of <strong>
pthread_setcanceltype</strong>(). See the common user errors section of this
document for more information.</li>
<li>This function is not portable.</li>
</ol>

<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>None.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>cancelstate</strong></dt>
<dd>(Output) Address of the variable to receive the cancel state.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>0</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_getcancelstate_np</strong>() was successful.</dd>
<dt><strong>value</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_getcancelstate_np</strong>() was not successful. <em>
value</em> is set to indicate the error condition.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>pthread_getcancelstate</strong>_np() was not successful, the
error condition returned usually indicates one of the following errors. Under
some conditions, the value returned could indicate an error other than those
listed here.</p>
<dl>
<dt><em>[EINVAL]</em></dt>
<dd><p>The value specified for the argument is not correct.</p></dd>
