pthread_self(3)						       pthread_self(3)

NAME
       pthread_self - Obtains the identifier of the calling thread

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       pthread_t pthread_self(
	       void );

LIBRARY
       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

STANDARDS
       Interfaces  documented on this reference page conform to industry stan‐
       dards as follows:

       IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface

PARAMETERS
       None

DESCRIPTION
       This routine returns the address of the	calling	 thread's  own	thread
       identifier.  For	 example, you can use this thread object to obtain the
       calling thread's own sequence number.  To do so, pass the return	 value
       from  this  routine in a call to the pthread_getsequence_np(3) routine,
       as follows:

	  unsigned long	    this_thread_nbr;
	   .
	   .
	   .
	  this_thread_nbr = pthread_getsequence_np( pthread_self( ) );
	   .
	   .
	   .

       The return value from the pthread_self(3) routine  becomes  meaningless
       after the calling thread is destroyed.

RETURN VALUES
       Returns the address of the calling thread's own thread object.

ERRORS
       None
