pthread_getsequence_np(3)
NAME
  pthread_getsequence_np - Obtains the unique identifier for the specified
  thread

SYNOPSIS
  #include <pthread.h>

  unsigned long pthread_getsequence_np(
	  pthread_t thread );

LIBRARY
  DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

STANDARDS

PARAMETERS
  thread
      Thread object whose sequence number is to be obtained.

DESCRIPTION
  This routine obtains and returns the DECthreads thread sequence number for
  the thread identified by the thread object specified in the thread
  argument.

  The thread sequence number provides a unique identifier for each existing
  thread. A thread's thread sequence number is never reused while the thread
  exists, but can be reused after the thread terminates. The debugger
  interfaces use this sequence number to identify each thread in commands and
  in display output.

  The result of calling this routine is undefined if the thread argument does
  not specify a valid thread object.

RETURN VALUES
  No errors are returned. This routine returns the DECthreads thread sequence
  number for the thread identified by the thread object specified in the
  thread argument. The result of calling this routine is undefined if the
  thread argument does not specify a valid thread.

ERRORS
  None
