SYNOPSIS
#include <tis.h>
void *tis_getspecific(
pthread_key_t key );
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)
STANDARDS

PARAMETERS
Identifies a value returned by a call to tis_key_create(3). This rou‐
tine 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.
