tis_setspecific(3)					     Library Functions Manual						tis_setspecific(3)

NAME

       tis_setspecific - Changes the value associated with the specified thread-specific data key.

LIBRARY

       Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tis.h>

       int   tis_setspecific(
				pthread_key_t	key,
				const void	*value);

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-specific 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
