pthread_key_getname_np(3)
NAME
  pthread_key_getname_np - Obtain the object name from a thread-specific data
  key object

SYNOPSIS
  #include <pthread.h>

  int pthread_rwlock_key_getname_np(
	  pthread_key_t *key,
	  char *name,
	  size_t len );

LIBRARY
  DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

PARAMETERS
  key Address of the thread-specific data key object whose object name is to
      be obtained.

  name
      Location to store the obtained object name.

  len Length in bytes of buffer at the location specified by name.

DESCRIPTION
  This routine copies the object name from the thread-specific data key
  object specified by key to the buffer at the location name. Before calling
  this routine, your program must allocate the buffer indicated by name.

  The object name is a C language string and provides an identifier that is
  meaningful to a person debugging a DECthreads-based multithreaded
  application.	The maximum number of characters in the object name is 31.

  If the specified thread-specific data key object has not been previously
  set with an object name, this routine copies a C language null string into
  the buffer at location name.

RETURN VALUES
  If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value
  indicating the type of error. Possible return values are as follows:

  0   Successful completion.

  [EINVAL]
      The value specified by key is invalid.

ERRORS
  None
