<p>The <strong>pthread_getspecific</strong>() function retrieves the thread
|
|
local storage value associated with the <em>key</em>.
|
|
<strong>pthread_getspecific</strong>() may be called from a data
|
|
destructor.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The thread local storage value is a variable of type void * that is local to
|
|
a thread, but global to all of the functions called within that thread. It is
|
|
accessed by the key.</p>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>None.</p>
|
|

|
|
<h3>Parameters</h3>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|

|
|
|
|
<dd>(Input) The thread local storage key returned from

<h3>Return Value</h3>
|

<em>key</em> location. <a name="307033"></a><br><br></dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>NULL</strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd><strong>pthread_getspecific</strong>() returned the null thread specific
|
|
data value stored at the <em>key</em> location or the <em>key</em> was out of
|
|
range.</dd>
