PTHREAD_GETSPECIFIC(3)     BSD Programmer's Manual      PTHREAD_GETSPECIFIC(3)

NAME

     pthread_getspecific - get a thread-specific data value

SYNOPSIS

     #include <pthread.h>

     void *
     pthread_getspecific(pthread_key_t key);

DESCRIPTION

     The pthread_getspecific() function returns the value currently bound to
     the specified key on behalf of the calling thread.

     The effect of calling pthread_getspecific() with a key value not obtained
     from pthread_key_create() or after key has been deleted with
     pthread_key_delete() is undefined.

     pthread_getspecific() may be called from a thread-specific data destruc-
     tor function.

RETURN VALUES

     The pthread_getspecific() function will return the thread-specific data
     value associated with the given key. If no thread-specific data value is
     associated with key, then the value NULL is returned.

ERRORS

     None.
