Hi,
If I'm writing a library and I'd like to use procdata, is there any
way to safely do so, considering that applications using the library
might be using procdata as well? Perhaps it should take a key, like
pthread_getspecific/_setspecific?
Thanks,
-- vs

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.

Don't use procdata directly; use privalloc.
