<p>The <strong>pthread_key_delete</strong>() function deletes a process-wide
thread local storage <em>key</em>. The <strong>pthread_key_delete</strong>()
function does not run any destructors for the values associated with
<em>key</em> in any threads. After a key is deleted, it may be returned by a
subsequent call to <strong>pthread_key_create</strong>().</p>
<p>An attempt to delete a key that is out of range or not valid fails with
EINVAL. An attempt to delete a valid key that has already been deleted or has
not been returned from <strong>pthread_key_create</strong>() fails with
ENOENT.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>None.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>key</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The thread local storage key returned from
<strong>pthread_key_create</strong>()</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>0</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_key_delete</strong>() was successful.<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong>value</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>pthread_key_delete(</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_key_delete</strong>() 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>
<p>A destructor function is not called as a result of the application calling
<strong>pthread_key_delete</strong>().</p>
<dl>
<dt><em>[EINVAL]</em></dt>
<dd><p>The value specified for the argument is not correct.</p></dd>
<dt><em>[ENOENT]</em></dt>
<dd><p>An entry for the key is not currently allocated.</p></dd>
</dl>
