|
|
|
|
|
.Fn pthread_key_delete

|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
