NAME

pthread_self − Obtains the identifier of the current thread. 

SYNOPSIS

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

PARAMETERS

None. 

DESCRIPTION

This routine allows a thread to obtain its own identifier.  Use this identifier in calls to pthread_setprio and pthread_setscheduler. 

This value becomes meaningless when the thread object is deleted — that is, when the thread has terminated its execution and pthread_detach has been called. 

RETURN VALUES

Returns the identifier of the calling thread to pthread_t.
