TlsSetValue  4UW3TF 

The TlsSetValue function stores a value in the calling thread s thread local storage (TLS) slot for a specified TLS index. Each thread of a process has its own slot for each TLS index.

BOOL TlsSetValue(

Parameters

dwTlsIndex

Specifies a TLS index that was allocated by the TlsAllocQZKZRO function.

lpTlsValue

Specifies the value to be stored in the calling thread s TLS slot specified by dwTlsIndex.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError11C2VS7.

Remarks

TLS indexes are typically allocated by the TlsAllocQZKZRO function during process or DLL initialization. Once allocated, each thread of the process can use a TLS index to access its own TLS storage slot for that index. The storage slot for each thread is initialized to NULL. A thread specifies a TLS index in a call to TlsSetValue, to store a value in its slot. The thread specifies the same index in a subsequent call to TlsGetValueT9HGY4, to retrieve the stored value.

TlsSetValue and TlsGetValue were implemented with speed as the primary goal. These functions perform minimal parameter validation and error checking. In particular, this function succeeds if dwTlsIndex is in the range 0 through (TLS_MINIMUM_AVAILABLE - 1). It is up to the programmer to ensure that the index is valid.
