pthread_getsequence_np - Obtains the unique identifier for the specified thread.
DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)
#include <pthread.h>
unsigned long pthread_getsequence_np(
pthread_t thread);
Thread object whose sequence number is to be obtained.
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.
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.
