NAME

pthread_self - Obtains the identifier of the current thread

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h> pthread_t pthread_self();

DESCRIPTION

The pthread_self() routine allows a thread to obtain its own identifier. 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 pthread_detach() is called.

RETURN VALUES

Returns the identifier of the calling thread to pthread_t.
