DESCRIPTION

This routine allows a thread to obtain its own thread identifier. 

This value becomes meaningless when the thread is destroyed. 

The initial thread in a process can “change identity” when thread system initialization completes−−that is, when the DECthreads multithreading run-time environment is loaded. 

RETURN VALUES

Returns the thread identifier of the calling thread. 

ERRORS

None
