THREAD_SELF(3T)                      BSD                       THREAD_SELF(3T)



NAME
     thread_self -  return thread id

SYNOPSIS
     include <apollo/thread.h>
     thread_t thread_self(void)

DESCRIPTION
     thread_self returns the thread id of the currently running thread.

     The data structures is defined as follows:

     thread_t
          The basic thread id.  This is a black box value that is not
          significant outside the thread system.  It is guaranteed that no two
          active threads on a node will have the same thread id.

NOTES
     This call is part of the low level Domain/OS Pthread interface.  Most of
     these calls come directly from the Mach thread interface.  Except as
     noted, they work exactly like the equivalent Mach call; they work between
     processes (the thread id is unique for a node) if the calling process has
     the appropriate rights relative to the target process.

     This call is provided solely for compatibility with the Mach operating
     system. New applications should use the Pthread interface instead.
