+        <tt>linda:cancel()</tt> signals the linda so that lanes waiting for read, write, or both, wake up.
         All linda operations (including <tt>get()</tt> and <tt>set()</tt>) will return <tt>lanes.cancel_error</tt> as when the calling lane is <a href="#cancelling">soft-cancelled</a> as long as the linda is marked as cancelled.<br />
         <tt>"none"</tt> reset the linda's cancel status, but doesn't signal it.<br />
+        <tt>linda.status</tt> reads the current cancel status.
         If not void, the lane's cancel status overrides the linda's cancel status.
