<p>Get a file descriptor -based notificator for <em class="parameter"><code>cancellation</code></em>
. When
<em class="parameter"><code>cancellation</code></em>
receives a cancellation request, a character will be made
available on the returned file descriptor for input.</p>
<p>This is very useful for detecting cancellation during I/O operations: you
can use the <code class="function">select()</code> call to check for available input/output on the file
you are reading/writing, and on the notificator's file descriptor at the
same time. If a data is available on the notificator's file descriptor, you
know you have to cancel the read/write operation.</p>
