  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
  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.
