tis_key_delete(3)tis_key_delete(3)NAMEtis_key_delete - Deletes the specified thread-specific data key
SYNOPSIS
#include <tis.h>
int tis_key_delete(
pthread_key_t key );
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)
STANDARDS
None
PARAMETERS
Thread-specific data key to be deleted.
DESCRIPTION
This routine deletes a thread-specific data key key previously returned
by a call to the tis_key_create(3) routine. The data values associated
with key need not be NULL at the time this routine is called. The
application must free any application storage or perform any cleanup
actions for data structures related to the deleted key or associated
data. This cleanup can be done before or after this routine is called.
Attempting to use the thread-specific data key key after calling this
routine results in unpredictable behavior.
No destructor functions are invoked by this routine. Any destructor
functions that may have been associated with key will no longer be
called upon thread exit.
This routine can be called from within destructor functions.
RETURN VALUES
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value
indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows:
Successful completion. The value for key is invalid.
ERRORS
None
