Changes the value associated with the specified thread-specific data key.
1 – C Binding
#include <tis.h> int tis_setspecific ( pthread_key_t key, const void *value);
2 – Arguments
key Thread-specific data key that identifies the data to receive value. Must be obtained from a call to tis_key_create(). value New value to associate 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(). Do not call this routine from a data destructor function. Doing so could lead to a memory leak or an infinite loop.
4 – Return Values
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows: Return Description 0 Successful completion. [EINVAL] The value specified by key is not a valid key. [ENOMEM] Insufficient memory to associate the value with the key.
