tis_setspecific(3)tis_setspecific(3)NAMEtis_setspecific - Changes the value associated with the specified
thread-specific data key
SYNOPSIS
#include <tis.h>
int tis_setspecific(
pthread_key_t key,
const void *value );
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)
STANDARDS
None
PARAMETERS
Thread-specific data key that identifies the data to receive value.
Must be obtained from a call to tis_key_create(3). New value to asso‐
ciate with the specified key. Once set, this value can be retrieved
using the same key in a call to tis_getspecific(3).
DESCRIPTION
This routine sets the value associated with the specified thread-spe‐
cific data key. If a value is defined for the key (that is, the current
value is not NULL), the new value is substituted for it. The key is
obtained by a previous call to tis_key_create(3).
Do not call this routine from a data destructor function. Doing so
could lead to a memory leak or an infinite loop.
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 specified by key is not a valid key.
Insufficient memory exists to associate the value with the key.
ERRORS
None
