       NAME
             _lwp_setprivate - set LWP-specific reference

       SYNOPSIS
             #include <sys/lwp.h>
             void _lwp_setprivate(void *buffer);

          Parameters
             buffer
                   value of the LWP-specific pointer

       DESCRIPTION
             _lwp_setprivate sets the lightweight process (LWP)-specific
             descriptor pointer to buffer.

          Return Values
             _lwp_setprivate sets the value of the LWP-specific pointer.

          Errors
             None.  Errors will be detected only when subsequently using
             the value of buffer.

       USAGE
             The per-LWP pointer value is intended to be used as a pointer
             to an implementation-defined datum.
