LIBRARY Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a) SYNOPSIS #include <tis.h> void *tis_getspecific( pthread_key_t key); STANDARDS None PARAMETERS Identifies a value returned by a call to tis_key_create(3). This rou- tine returns the data value associated with the thread-specific data key. DESCRIPTION This routine returns the value currently bound to the specified thread- specific data key. This routine can be called from a data destructor function. When threads are present, the data and keys are thread specific; they enable a library to maintain context on a per-thread basis. RETURN VALUES No errors are returned. This routine returns the data value associated with the specified thread-specific data key key. If no data value is associated with key, or if key is not defined, then a NULL value is re- turned.
