tis_self(3)
NAME

LIBRARY
  Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)

SYNOPSIS
  #include <tis.h>

  pthread_t   tis_self(void);

PARAMETERS

DESCRIPTION
  This routine allows a thread to obtain its own thread identifier.

  This value becomes meaningless when the thread is destroyed.

  The initial thread in a process can "change identity" when thread system
  initialization completes--that is, when the DECthreads multithreading run-
  time environment is loaded.

RETURN VALUES
  Returns the thread identifier of the calling thread.

ERRORS
  None
