<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<B>pthread_self</B>()
|
|
|
|
function returns the ID of the calling thread.
|
|
This is the same value that is returned in
|
|
<I>*thread</I>
|
|
|
|
in the
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+pthread_create">pthread_create</A></B>(3)
|
|
|
|
call that created this thread.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
|
|
|
|
This function always succeeds, returning the calling thread's ID.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAF"> </A>
|
|
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
|
|
|
|
This function always succeeds.

|
|
<H2>NOTES</H2>
|
|
|
|
POSIX.1 allows an implementation wide freedom in choosing
|
|
the type used to represent a thread ID;
|
|
for example, representation using either an arithmetic type or
|
|
a structure is permitted.
|
|
Therefore, variables of type
|
|
<I>pthread_t</I>
|
|
|
|
can't portably be compared using the C equality operator (<B>==</B>);
|
|
use
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+pthread_equal">pthread_equal</A></B>(3)
|
|
|
|
instead.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Thread identifiers should be considered opaque:
|
|
any attempt to use a thread ID other than in pthreads calls
|
|
is nonportable and can lead to unspecified results.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Thread IDs are guaranteed to be unique only within a process.
|
|
A thread ID may be reused after a terminated thread has been joined,
|
|
or a detached thread has terminated.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The thread ID returned by
|
|
<B>pthread_self</B>()
|
|
|
|
is not the same thing as the kernel thread ID returned by a call to
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+gettid">gettid</A></B>(2).
