-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.BR get_thread_area ()
-returns an entry in the current thread's thread-local storage (TLS) array.

-returns 0 on success.

-.SH VERSIONS
-A version of
-.BR get_thread_area ()
-first appeared in Linux 2.5.32.
-.SH CONFORMING TO
-.BR get_thread_area ()
-is Linux-specific and should not be used in programs
-that are intended to be portable.
-.SH NOTES
-Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call,
-since it is generally intended only for use by threading libraries.
-In the unlikely event that you want to call it directly, use
-.BR syscall (2).
