);

DESCRIPTION

You can store thread-specific data, associated with a key, if you want to store (presumably just a little) data that is, in spirit, not shared with other threads. For example, the random number generator seeds for each thread are not shared; there are seed values specific to each thread. See pthread_setspecific for an example of how this works. LOCK STATUS: no, this does not block

RETURNS

NO_ERROR, if successful. Otherwise, ERROR and a message is generated.
