NAME

       tis_getspecific - Obtains the data associated with the specified thread-specific data key.

LIBRARY

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

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tis.h>

       void   *tis_getspecific(
				pthread_key_t	 key);

STANDARDS

       None

PARAMETERS

       Identifies  a  value returned by a call to tis_key_create(3).  This routine returns the data value associated with the thread-specific data
       key.

DESCRIPTION

       This routine returns the value currently bound to the specified thread-specific data key.

       This routine can be called from a data destructor function.

       When threads are present, the data and keys are thread specific; they enable a library to maintain context on a per-thread basis.

RETURN VALUES

       No errors are returned.	This routine returns the data value associated with the specified thread-specific data key key.  If no data  value
       is associated with key, or if key is not defined, then a NULL value is returned.
