pthread_self(3-thr) pthread_self(3-thr)
NAME
pthreadself - obtains the identifier of the current thread
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
pthreadt pthreadself();
DESCRIPTION
The pthreadself() routine allows a thread to obtain its own identif-
ier. For example, this identifier allows a thread to set its own
priority.
This value becomes meaningless when the thread object is deleted; that
is, when the thread terminates its execution and pthreaddetach() is
called.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the identifier of the calling thread to pthreadt.
SEE ALSO
pthreadcreate(3-thr), pthreadsetprio(3-thr),
pthreadsetscheduler(3-thr).
