tis_getspecific(3)
NAME
  tis_getspecific - Obtains the data associated with the specified thread-
  specific data key

SYNOPSIS
  #include <tis.h>

  void *tis_getspecific(
	  pthread_key_t key );

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

STANDARDS
  None

PARAMETERS
  key 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.
