NAME

       pthread_key_setname_np - Change the object name in a thread-specific data key object.

LIBRARY

       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int   pthread_key_setname_np(
			     pthread_key_t	       *key,
			     const char 	       *name,
			     void		       *mbz);

PARAMETERS

       Address of the thread-specific data key object whose object name is to be changed.  Object name value to copy into the thread-specific data
       key object.  Reserved for future use. The value must be zero (0).

DESCRIPTION

       This routine changes the object name in the thread-specific data key object specified by key to the value specified by name.  To set a  new
       thread-specific data key object's object name, call this routine immediately after initializing the key object.

       The  object  name  is  a C language string and provides an identifier that is meaningful to a person debugging a multithreaded application.
       The maximum number of characters in the object name is 31.

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, or the length in characters of name exceeds 31.  Insufficient memory
       exists to create a copy of the object name string.

ERRORS

       None
