_LWP_GETPRIVATE(2)					      BSD System Calls Manual						_LWP_GETPRIVATE(2)

NAME

     _lwp_getprivate, _lwp_setprivate -- get and set light-weight process private data

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <lwp.h>

     void *
     _lwp_getprivate(void);

     void
     _lwp_setprivate(void *ptr);

DESCRIPTION

     _lwp_setprivate() stores the pointer to private data ptr in a location private to the LWP.

     _lwp_getprivate() returns the pointer to private data for the LWP.

ERRORS

     The _lwp_getprivate() and _lwp_setprivate() functions are always successful, and no return value is reserved to indicate an error.

SEE ALSO

     _lwp_makecontext(3)

HISTORY

     The _lwp_getprivate() and _lwp_setprivate() system calls first appeared in NetBSD 2.0.

_LWP_MAKECONTEXT(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 				       _LWP_MAKECONTEXT(3)

NAME

     _lwp_makecontext -- create a new initial light-weight process execution context

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <lwp.h>

     void
     _lwp_makecontext(ucontext_t *context, void (*start_routine)(void *), void *arg, void *private, caddr_t stack_base, size_t stack_size);

DESCRIPTION

     _lwp_makecontext() initializes the context structure pointed to by context in a manner suitable for using with _lwp_create(2).  The LWP will
     begin execution at the function specified by start_routine which will be passed a single argument arg.  The LWP private data pointer will be
     set to private.  The stack region for the new LWP is specified by the stack_base and stack_size arguments.

     The signal mask in the context structure is not initialized by _lwp_makecontext().

SEE ALSO

     _lwp_create(2), _lwp_getprivate(2)

HISTORY

     The _lwp_create() system call first appeared in NetBSD 2.0.

BUGS

     The LWP private data pointer is not initialized by the current implementation of _lwp_makecontext().
