NAME
get_thread_area - Get a Thread Local Storage (TLS) area
SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/unistd.h>
#include <asm/ldt.h>
int get_thread_area(struct user_desc *u_info);
DESCRIPTION
get_thread_area()
returns an entry in the current thread's Thread Local Storage (TLS) array.
The index of the entry corresponds to the value
of u_info->entry_number, passed in by the user.
If the value is in bounds,
get_thread_area()
copies the corresponding
TLS entry into the area pointed to by u_info.
RETURN VALUE
get_thread_area()
returns 0 on success.
Otherwise, it returns -1 and sets
errno
appropriately.
ERRORS
- EFAULT
-
u_info is an invalid pointer.
- EINVAL
-
u_info->entry_number is out of bounds.
VERSIONS
A version of
get_thread_area()
first appeared in Linux 2.5.32.
CONFORMING TO
get_thread_area()
is Linux-specific and should not be used in programs
that are intended to be portable.
NOTES
Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call;
call it using
syscall(2).
