+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pthread_setspecific
+.Nd set a thread-specific data value
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libpthread
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In pthread.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn pthread_setspecific "pthread_key_t key" "const void *value"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn pthread_setspecific
+function associates a thread-specific value with a
+.Fa key
+obtained via a previous call to
+.Fn pthread_key_create .
+Different threads can bind different values to the same key.
+These values are
+typically pointers to blocks of dynamically allocated memory that have been
+reserved for use by the calling thread.
+.Pp
+The effect of calling
+.Fn pthread_setspecific
+with a key value not obtained from
+.Fn pthread_key_create
+or after
+.Fa key
+has been deleted with
+.Fn pthread_key_delete
+is undefined.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn pthread_setspecific
+function may be called from a thread-specific data destructor function,
+however this may result in lost storage or infinite loops.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If successful, the
+.Fn pthread_setspecific
+function will return zero.
+Otherwise an error number will be returned to
+indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn pthread_setspecific
+function will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+Insufficient memory exists to associate the value with the
+.Fa key .
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The
+.Fa key
+value is invalid.
