_lwp_getprivate(2)




NAME

     _lwp_setprivate, _lwp_getprivate - set or get  LWP  specific
     storage


SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/lwp.h>

     void _lwp_setprivate(void *buffer);

     void *_lwp_getprivate(void);


DESCRIPTION

     The  _lwp_setprivate() function stores the  value  specified
     by  buffer  in LWP-private memory that is unique to the cal-
     ling LWP. This is typically used by thread library implemen-
     tations  to  maintain  a  pointer  to  information about the
     thread currently running on the calling LWP.

     The _lwp_getprivate() function returns the value  stored  in
     LWP-private memory.
