----------------------------------- GETTID(2) Linux Programmer's Manual GETTID(2)
NAME gettid - get thread identification
SYNOPSIS #include <sys/types.h> #include <linux/unistd.h>
_syscall0(pid_t,gettid)
pid_t gettid(void);
DESCRIPTION gettid returns the thread ID of the current process. This is equal to the process ID (as returned by getpid(2)), unless the process is part of a thread group (created by specifying the CLONE_THREAD flag to the clone(2) system call). All processes in the same thread group have the same PID, but each one has a unique TID.
CONFORMING TO gettid is Linux specific and should not be used in pro grams that are intended to be portable.
SEE ALSO getpid(2), clone(2), fork(2)
