.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBgettid\fP() returns the thread ID of the current process.
|
|
This is equal
|
|
to the process ID (as returned by
|
|
.BR getpid (2)),
|
|
unless the process is part of a thread group (created by specifying
|
|
the CLONE_THREAD flag to the
|
|
.BR clone (2)
|
|
system call).
|
|
All processes in the same thread group
|
|
have the same PID, but each one has a unique TID.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
On success, returns the thread ID of the current process.
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
This call is always successful.
|
|
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
|
|
\fBgettid\fP() is Linux specific and should not be used in programs that
|
|
are intended to be portable.
