#include 


unsigned long
pthread_getsequence_np (
         pthread_t   *thread);

Arguments

thread: Thread whose sequence number is obtained.

Description

This routine obtains the sequence number of the specified thread, which provides a unique identifier for each concurrent thread. Thread sequence numbers are never reused while a thread exists, but may be reused after the thread terminates. The debugger interfaces use this sequence number to identify each thread in commands and in display output.

Return Values

No errors are returned. The function pthread_getsequence_np returns the sequence number of the specified thread. The result is undefined if thread is not a valid thread.
