Perhaps it should take a key, like pthread_getspecific/_setspecific? Thanks, -- vs ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Perhaps it should take a key, like > pthread_getspecific/_setspecific? since procdata(2) it is unused, cd /sys/src && grep -l procdata `{find|grep '\.[ch]'} ./libthread/id.c a first cut would be to add this to the man page .SH BUGS steals .IR procdata (2). but i would consider it a warning flag that there are no current users of threadata or procdata. - erik ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
