.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm pthread_key_delete
|
|
.Nd delete a thread-specific data key
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|

|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In pthread.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_delete "pthread_key_t key"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_delete
|
|
function deletes a thread-specific data key previously returned by
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_create .
|
|
The thread-specific data values associated with
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
need not be NULL at the time that
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_delete
|
|
is called.
|
|
It is the responsibility of the application to free any
|
|
application storage or perform any cleanup actions for data structures
|
|
related to the deleted key or associated thread-specific data in any threads;
|
|
this cleanup can be done either before or after
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_delete
|
|
is called.
|
|
Any attempt to use
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
following the call to
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_delete
|
|
results in undefined behavior.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_delete
|
|
function is callable from within destructor functions.
|
|
Destructor functions
|
|
are not invoked by
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_delete .
|
|
Any destructor function that may have been associated with
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
will no longer be called upon thread exit.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful, the
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_delete
|
|
function will return zero.
|
|
Otherwise an error number will be returned to
|
|
indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_delete
|
|
may fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
value is invalid.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_delete
|
|
conforms to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-96 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The current specifications of
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_create
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_delete
|
|
are flawed and do not permit a clean implementation without
|
|
potential problems.
|
|
The current implementation of these functions
|
|
.Nx
|
|
in addresses these problems by not supporting key reuse.
